Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Kama EURO 224 185-60-14-H Renault Clio 1.6 16v 45,000 miles August 22, 2019
Nice tires for this price. Good enough quality, everyday ride without problems. Especially if you try and think while driving and don't just depend on tires. I drove on a dry and wet road, on a snow and even a little mud and everything went well. Surely if you ride on an ice there can be difficulties so just watch your speed.

Dunlop Sport BluResponse 185-55-15-R Renault Clio 1.6 16v 1,000 miles January 13, 2014
Bought these on the strength of various reviews and ratings but I'm not as impressed as I hoped I would be. Grip is actually pretty good, wet or dry, but the tires never inspire confidence. Turn in is much more vague than with the older tires and feedback on roadsurface and adhesion limits is average at best. Perhaps with lower profiles they might be better, but at a 55 profile these seem to be weighted far more toward comfort than performance. They are very quiet and do help to absorb some of the smaller bumps - if comfort is your priority these could be the tires for you. Can't comment on wear yet as I've only done 1000 miles

Kumho Solus KH17 185-60-15-H Renault Clio 1.6 16v 100 miles May 23, 2013
GRRRRRRIIIIIPPPPP!! The grip on these tires are phenomenal. Usually after pulling away in 1st I get wheelspin but after fitting these my car launches itself down the road. I would definitely recommend these tires. Great for the price.

Meteor HP Sport 195-50-16- Renault Clio 1.6 16v 20,000 miles March 12, 2013
High value for money tire! Loads of grip in wet conditions! It is very progressive and offers tons of feedback. It is a little noisier than average but it is acceptable and not annoying given the wet performance!! Excellent choice of mid-range tires for average drivers but also for driving enthusiasts!!!

Silverstone M5 Synergy 225-45-17- Renault Clio 1.6 16v 130 miles October 27, 2012
I have had 4 Synergy M5's fitted recently. Today was the coldest day since last winter in the UK & at 7.45am the temperature was -0 with black ice on treated roads. I can confirm that these tires are not good atall in these conditiions with my vehicle constantly loosing tractirebberon at relatively low speeds & on straight roads. I had to reduce my speed to around 40mph for self preservation which meant I had heavy goods vehicles having to overtake me.

BFGoodrich gGrip 185-55-15-V Renault Clio 1.6 16v 8,000 miles August 18, 2012
These tires are pretty good for the price you pay although the wet grip that these tires are supposed to offer is overall quite poor on my car. The tires are pretty quick to lose traction in the wet although as said, for the price I can't really complain. Just don't expect top performance from what is essentially a more budget offering.

In the dry they are good but will never compare to the premium tires such as Goodyear, Michelin (owns BF Goodrich) etc.
