Alpine A290 tyres
The Alpine A290 runs one fitment, 225/40 R19 93V XL. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The Ford Puma Gen-E takes the same size.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tyre size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 19in wheels | 19in | 225/40 R19 | 93 | V | XL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
Alpine's UK specification lists 225/40R19 93V for both of its factory Michelins, the Pilot Sport EV and the stickier Pilot Sport S 5, so the 220 PS GTS shares a size with the 180 PS GT.
It is a Renault 5 underneath, but where the 5 uses a 195 section the A290 goes 30 mm wider with a 40-series sidewall of about 90 mm. Load index 93 is extra-load at this size.
No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 225/40 R19. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Alpine A290 take?
- It runs 225/40 R19. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Alpine A290?
- Only at 225/40 R19 93V XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
