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.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ 195-55-20 Renault Scenic 12,500 miles December 28, 2025
I have these fitted on a Renault Scenic 4. Due to the odd tire size this car is infamous for erasing its front tire's rubber in a very short timeframe. It also often produces 'sawtooth' wear patterns with directional tires. So I fitted the only asymetric product available: Vredestein Quartrac Pro +. I've Run it for 20,000 km now and it works flawlessly. It was driven in Central European climate and it helped me ascend snowy hills and also worked well during the hear waves in summer. Will buy again when worn.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 205-55-17 Renault Scenic October 22, 2025
Just bought 4 tires for my Renault Grand Scenic 3 MPV. I have to say that the first thing I noticed is the comfort. Tires are extremely comfort. Handling is surprisingly very good (according to my previous tires). There's no snow yet so I can't write my experience on that matter. But considering first impresions and the price I paid (100€ per tire) I'd surely buy them again.

Michelin Primacy 4 225-45-17 Renault Scenic 22,000 miles September 23, 2025
very good tires and good handeling for a tall mpv. Did some fast-ish mountain road with it and it was holding very well in the corners. Now at the middle/end of its life i feel like they get very noisy and a bit hard. Its not as comfortable i would like to be

Roadhog RGHP01 215-60-16- Renault Scenic 1,000 miles December 21, 2022
These tires replace a summer tire, very comfortable ride. Very good in muddy and frosty conditions like field access

Continental EcoContact 6 205-55-16-V Renault Scenic 2,500 miles August 14, 2020
Great on fuel efficiency, dry grip and brake distance is excellent for an Eco tire. On wet conditions eco 6 is also perfect for an eco tire. Better than the previous eco 5 especially on dry braking.

Goodride SA37 205-45-17-V Renault Scenic 10,000 miles July 6, 2020
Well,they are very quiet on the road. The previous tires which was an other brand, were noisy on a wet road but this Goodride I do not hear them.

General AltiMAX HP 205-60-16- Renault Scenic 3,000 miles October 15, 2019
Was persuaded to put these on when all my existing tires were near the wear limit. Now had two suffer catastrophic sidewall failure within a few thousand miles. Sidewalls seem to be made of tissue paper! Easily the worst tire I've ever come across.

Nokian WeatherProof 215-55-15- Renault Scenic 42,000 miles April 6, 2019

Mounted on a scenic xmod ( front wheel drive, bit more ground clearance and a snazzier traction control ) I wanted to access the mountains in the snow but not the expense of 4 wheel drive.
These tires have been remarkable, I've had them on for just over two years and 42 thousand miles. Current tread depth is 4/5mm. I rotated them in January.
Dry grip has been fine, wet grip excellent. Comfort and noise also excellent. I do get 2 or 3 mpg less than the summers they replaced though.
The most impressive aspect though must be their snow and ice performance, I love to get out into the mountains in winter and these tires have pulled me up steep snow filled roads in the Cairngorms with ease. Most gloatingly past a Range rover sport who was stuck spinning all four of his daft 22s.
No regrets at all and I will definitely buy again.

Michelin CrossClimate 205-55-16- Renault Scenic III 1.6vvt 10,800 miles October 31, 2018
Purchased set of 4 Michelin CC in late October 2015. So 3 years old with 10.8k mileage mostly town with some M-Way in between. My recent MoT says tire treads are OSF 5mm, NSF 5mm, OSR 5.5mm & NSR 5.5mm with the brand new tread being 7mm so just under half worn. Excellent road holding on all dry surfaces. Impressed with performance in the snow early 2018. In the wet generally very good. Noticed that when accelerating & turning sharply left in the wet the front tires do give up a bit of grip & slip just a fraction before holding again. Just have to adjust my driving to avoid this happening. Always had Michelins on this Scenic so difficult to compare other than the tread patterns look different from memory. Driving on rough roads one does feel the feedback coming through the tires. Would recommend until something surpasses them versus cost.

Uniroyal RainSport 3 205-55-16-H Renault Scenic October 8, 2018
Tires drive better on rain than on dry tarmac. Considering the price it is well worth it. Would buy again
