Renault Zoe tyres
_%E2%80%93_f_22112020.jpg){kind=link}
The Renault Zoe leaves the factory on 185/65 R15 and 195/55 R16 and 215/45 R17 depending on wheel size, and the 185/65 R15 92T XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. It is staggered: a 215 section at the front and a 205 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first. The Hyundai Inster takes the same size.

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
The 17 inch Zoe is staggered: 215/45 at the front and a narrower 205/45 at the rear, so front and rear tyres cannot be swapped across axles.
Several of the factory Michelin labels omit the XL mark, but at 92 on 185/65 R15 and 91 on 195/55 R16 the load index is above standard for both sizes, so replacements must be extra-load. Some 16 inch cars left the factory on 91H Continentals rather than the 91T Michelin.
These are the figures for the 52 kWh Zoe from 2019. Earlier Zoes on Michelin's Q-rated EV tyres are not covered here.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Renault Zoe take?
- It runs 185/65 R15 and 195/55 R16 and 215/45 R17. 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 Renault Zoe?
- Only at 185/65 R15 92T 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.
