1969-1970 Renault 10
Renault 10 1965–1967
- The Renault 10 (also known as the Renault 1100 and R10) was originally fitted with 135-380 or 145-380 tyres, offered in either crossply or radial construction.
- Crossply tyres in these sizes are no longer made, but Renault recommended and factory-fitted radial tyres in later models.
- A 135 R380 tyre is exactly the same as a 135 R15 tyre, and a 145 R380 is exactly the same as a 145 R15 radial tyre.
- Our recommended Renault 10 135 R15 classic tyre is the 135 SR 15 Michelin ZX, as it was an original equipment tyre in period.

- The best Renault 10 tyre available in the slightly wider 145 R15 size is the 145 SR 15 Michelin XZX.
- Michelin was an original tyre supplier to Renault cars including the R10 Major 1100 and R10 1300 , and their early radial technology made the Michelin X and Michelin ZX the choice for handling and ride quality.
- For evidence of the original tyres, see our Renault 10 Tyre Fitment Data, taken from period Brochures.
- Tyres in the 155 R15 size could also be fitted, being only 1.1% narrower in diameter than the 145-380's. In this case we would suggest fitting the 155 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67, or the 155 HR 15 Michelin XAS FF.
- The R10 fitted tube-type wheels throughout production, innertubes are required for these wheels, even if you fit a tubeless radial tyre.
- For all these tyres we the Michelin 15E is the ideal innertube.

History of the Renault 10
The Renault 10 Major (branded as the Renault 1100 in various regions) was introduced in September 1965, replacing the Renault 8 Major. The Renault 8 was stretched, with an expanded front overhang and a substantially larger front baggage compartment, with a capacity increase from 240 to 315 litres. The size of the central passenger compartment, on the other hand, remained constant. The 1,108 cc engine, which had previously featured in top-of-the-line Renault 8 models in several areas, was derived from the Renault Caravelle. In France, the Renault 10 struggled to compete with the popular Peugeot 204, which was released the same year.
