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.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 235-40-18-W Renault Megane R26 4,500 miles April 16, 2020
Spent £1000's on 100's of tires before. Had sports tires, off road, SUV etc etc and always found something to improve on with a brand weather it be grip, comfort, noise or wear. Can report 0 things I hate about these.... oh except they are not £9.99 each and a packet of Rolos to fit

Sunew YS618 225-45-17- Renault Megane R26 July 30, 2018
Had two of these tires on the front, nearly binned it going round a roundabout at 15mph. Safe to say I'm buying new tires ASAP. Do not buy.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 235-40-18- Renault Megane R26 2,000 miles April 8, 2017
Overall a good tire. Wet and dry very confident but in the tight stuff on the limit produce bad understeer which lets the tire down in my opinion.

Maxxis Victra MA Z3 225-45-17- Renault Megane R26 5,000 miles August 4, 2016
These tires came on my car, they are OK for normal driving as soon as you get a little excited and drive spiritley you can tell they are a budget tire. The wet grip is shocking and my traction control kicked in if I thought about using the noise pedal. All in all a good tire for daily use but has low limits.

Avon ZV7 225-45-17- Renault Megane R26 9,000 miles July 10, 2016
Second set of these and for all round performance probably the best tire you can buy for the money on 18 inch rims!
I am also impressed with the wear 9k in I'm about halfway though!

Atlas Sport Green 235-40-18-W Renault Megane R26 1,000 miles April 16, 2015
Very good grip on dry and wet pavement - during straight line braking, acceleration and constant speed cornering, but in transitions feeling is somewhat deficient. Car is not "connected" to the road as for sure could be. There is a "floating" sensation accompanying aggressive driving inputs. Despite of that, wide margin of progressiveness gives sense of security. I would buy it again for a daily car - also a powerful one, but also would consider other options when it comes to pleasure of (sporty) driving. All in all, awesome value for its price.

Avon Ice Touring ST 225-40-18- Renault Megane R26 10 miles January 18, 2015
Fantastic winter tires that are easily on par with much more expensive brands. Not as soft as most winter tires had the. On the rollers and didn't overheat so surprising.

Cope extremely well in all conditions from heavy snow/rain/damp cold and dry. Tend to get a bit hairy above 12c though so not to be used year round on a performance car.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08R 225-45-17- Renault Megane R26 30 miles September 17, 2013
Guess I am the first to review it. My previous tires were Goodyear Eagles F1A2s and they are pretty good in the wet, but on the tracks they become pretty useless after 2 laps. I just changed to AD08Rs today and I am super impressed and happy with my buy. I thought for a semi-slick they would be pretty lousy in the wet, but no. There was a slight drizzle tonight so the roads are cold and at its most slippery, and i went through the roundabout as though like its dry. No understeer at all. Comfort wise they are a little bit more bumpy than the Eagles F1A2. I am not too sure about how long they will last though as I just got it today, but I think if you use your car as a daily drive and the occasional track day, these are the tires to go for hands down. And for the price, there is really no tire that can match its performance for what you are paying for.

Yokohama S306 225-45-17- Renault Megane R26 1,000 miles March 9, 2013
Had these tires on a Renault Megane R26 when I bought it.I thought yokohama had a good name in motorsport,but I can only say thay are dreadfull in the wet (almost dangerous)every time I get to a roundabout or bend in the wet my heart is in my mouth.I will be fitting Michelin pilots shortly,you dont buy a top handling car to be nervous of it when wet.They remind me of Firestone s660 or Michelin zx,s of old to compare in the wet.I can not coment on how long they last as they where on the car when I bought it.
