Renault Mona 4 Tyres
- According to our fitment guides, the early UY1 edition of the Mona 4 (or Monaquatre) fitted 12 - 45 Tyres.
- Our recommended crossply is the 11/12 x 45 Waymaster Thirty, and the recommended radial is the 12 x 45 Michelin DR.
- The ideal tube for a tyre of this size is the Michelin 18" C RET Central Valve innertube, or the Michelin 18/19CD RET Offset Valve innertube, depending on your wheel type.
- The YN2 edition, produced from 1934 fitted 475 - 18 Tyres.
- If you desire a crossply tyre we would suggest either the 4.75/5.00x18 Waymaster, or the 4.75/5.00 x 18 Excelsior. Both are good tyres offering period tread patterns.
- The Michelin 18/19CD RET Offset Valve innertube will be best suited to these tyres.
- For a radial tyre we would offer the 4.75/5.25 x 18 Michelin D.R. as the best option.
- The correct tube for a tyre of this size is the Michelin 17/18E innertube.
- The Mona Quatre fitted tube-type wheels, therefore innertubes are required for these wheels to function.

History of the Renault Monaquatre
Renault produced the Monaquatre, a compact family automobile, between 1931 and 1936. It was powered by a water-cooled, 4 cylinder engine and had a traditional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive arrangement. The Monaquatre, which debuted in October 1931, was designed similarly to the Renault Primaquatre big family automobile, with which it shared a 2,650 mm wheelbase. The updated Type YN1 variant debuted at the 1932 Paris Motor Show, with the engine capacity raised from 1289 cc to 1463 cc.
The type YN2 debuted at the Paris Motor Show in October 1933, with a modified bonnet and a somewhat higher sloped radiator grill. The YN2 was a transitional model, with the company already deciding to replace the old vehicles' excessively vertical rear ends with "aérodynamique" bodywork with elegantly sloping tails. By this time, the Monaquatre was available in seven distinct body styles, including four-door berlines with four or six side windows, and, a two-door two-seat cabriolet.
The YN2 was only in production for 3 months before the newer, more aerodynamic Type YN3 emerged at the start of 1934, originally with only two body designs to select from. Manufacturing of the final variant, the Type YN4, halted in September 1935, as did production of the 1936 Type YN4. The Renault Celtaquatre took the place of the Monaquatre.
