never be fitted to the wheels on
the rear axle.

fitted toall four wheelsto ensure
that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note:These tyres sometimes
have:
- a specific direction of rotation
- a maximum speed which may
be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
•Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only
be used for a limited period and
as laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to keep to the speed
specified by current legislation.
As a minimum, these tyres may be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we recommend that
you consult your Renault Dealer,
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
