OE Tyre for the 172 Cup?

[james_h]

Does anyone know what it was?

There will be two tyres (usually) that Renault would have used, 1st and 2nd choice.

I remember thinking it was Conti Sport contacts (2's probably)???

Thanks in advance.

Yep,the 172 cups came with Conti Sport 2s as standard

^^ still want to try these.. i was under the assumption that the oem ones were Pilot Exaltos so i went for those last time. Very very pleased with them but i think these Contis will do very good aswell, maybe better ?

Correction, they came with the original contisport tyres not contisport 2's.

I only use Conti Sports on all my cars; best combination of wear/performance ive found tbh OE as well ...

Ive always liked contisports.

Contis are a fine all round tyre, price/grip/wear. I'm really liking my goodyear f1s right now tho.

Sorry to open this up again.

I need a solid confirmation of both of the OE approvals for the 172 CUP.

I believe they were Conti Sport Contacts, and in one of the posts there is a reputable chap who confirms this.

I have tried Renault, they are unable to provide an answer...can you believe it! I can.

Any solid evidence or answers gratefully accepted.

Cheers in advance.

Going back to Conti's when my F1's die. F1's are better in the wet but the back doe not feel as planted wheres the fun in that

Yep they were the continential prmium contact the 1's although there were only the one version at the time there now the 2 and 3's

I have ContiSport3's and they've got loads of grip in the wet and dry. Much better tyre than original ContiSports and I paid £80 fitted per tyre from Blackcircles.

Sport Contacts, not premium contact.
