Tyres

Hi All

I'm replacing the front tyres on my 2006 Clio 182. I'm struggling to find out what the standard Tyre Load Rating should be on this car. At the moment I have budget 87w all round but I want to buy two new Pirelli P Zero Nero GT's but their load rating is 83w. The Renault manual doesn't mention it.

Regards
John

Is it not 84?

A bit overkill. Also might find you just end up with a wandering rear since you'll have stickyt rubber up front and cold concrete at the back.....but that's what drivers aids are there for.

Put the new tyres on the rear to avoid the back stepping out unintentionally.

I don't think load ratings will make much difference - 83 is 487kg and 87 is 545kg, and a Clio doesn't weigh 1.6tonnes...

That said, if insurance might get funny about it (which the blackcircles link suggests they might) then get the right ones. Should be in the manual, if you have one to hand.
