Renault 5 Turbo on Michelin TRX Tyres

Renault 5 1972–1996

The first generation of Renault 5 1972–1985 cars came fitted with 145R13 tyres. We are pleased to say we now offer 145HR13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 tyres; an excellent tyre in this size.
A Michelin tyre would be the perfect option for an early R5 owner, Michelin makes the historic 145R13 Michelin XAS FF. Perfect for the classic Renault 5.
The ideal tube for this is the Michelin 13CG innertube.
Several Renault 5's find themselves fitted with 155 R13 tyres either because 145R13 tyres are hard to come by or because they want a tyre with more width or height. If you're considering the 155R13 size, the 155R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 is the perfect tyre.
For the best performance with 155R13 tyres, choose the Michelin 13D innertube.

Renault 5 Ragnotti Monthlery

Our period Innertube Guides state which models transitioned to tubeless wheels, and when. See below to find your year and model.
These early Renault 5 models tyre pressures would be 25 psi front and 29 psi rear.
We also stock tyres for the Renault 5 Turbo of 1982. 190/55 VR 340 Michelin TRX & 220/55 VR 365 Michelin TRX.
Tyres with a profile below 70% (e.g 220/55 VR 365 Michelin TRX) should not be fitted with innertubes.
There are a selection of Michelin TB tyres for Renault 5 Rally cars.
The second generation of Renault 5, post-1984, fitted more modern generic tyre sizes: 145/70R13, 155/70R13, and 165/65R13.
For the second generation 1.4 Renault 5 GT Turbo of 1985, originally fitted 195/55R13 Michelin MXV.
For the R5 GT Turbo, we recommend the 195/55 VR 13 Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 and we can offer 195/55 VR 13 Avon Turbospeed CR27.

After a disappointing first year of sales in the USA market, renault changed the name for US models to 'Le car', emphasising its European motorsport successes and character.

1982 Renault 5 Tyres - 145HR13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 Tyres

1982 Renault 5 on 145HR13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 Tyres

Renault 5 Alpine Turbo, Gordini Turbo, Copa Turbo

Renault upgraded the Renault 5 Alpine with a turbo, and the Renault 5 Alpine Turbo came out in 1982. In the UK, the same car was called the Renault 5 Gordini Turbo, where the Garrett T3 Turbocharged 1.4l engine drove the 13” front wheels. Both the normally aspirated and turbocharged front-wheel-drive R5 Alpine Turbo and R5 Gordini Turbo fitted 155/70R13 Michelin XVS. For Motorsport, these 13” wheels could also be fitted with Michelin TB15 tyres.

Renault 5 Turbo Tyres

To take things a step further for motorsport, the engine was set in the middle of the car and drove the rear wheels in the Renault 5 Turbo. This should not be confused with the earlier 5 Alpine Turbo, the Renault 5 Gordini Turbo, or the later 1985 Renault 5 GT Turbo. This rear-wheel-drive car was very different, with 340mm wheels on the front fitted with 190/55VR340 Michelin TRX and 365mm rear wheels with 200/60VR365 TRX, or the tyre that is still made, the 220/55VR365 Michelin TRX.

Renault 5 GT Turbo

1985 Renault 5 GT Turbo Tyres

The second generation of turbocharged Renault 5 with the 8-valve pushrod 1397cc 4 pot engine was called the Renault 5 GT Turbo, again fitted with 13” wheels, but now with 195/55R13 Michelin MXV. Today, the MXV is no longer made, but Michelin makes the 195/55VR13 Pilot Exalto.

Q: What tyres were original on the Renault 5 Turbo?

The mid-engine rear-wheel-drive Renault 5 Turbo fitted a 190/55VR340 Michelin TRX with 220/55VR365 TRX on the rear (some cars had 200/60VR365 TRX on the rear). This mid-engine Renault 5 Turbo should not be mixed up with the front-wheel-drive cars; R5 Gordini/Alpine Turbo which fitted 155/70VR13 Michelin XVS, or the post-1984 second-generation Renault 5 GT Turbo, which fitted 195/55VR13 Michelin MXV.

Q: What tyres did the first generation of Renault 5 cars fit?

From 1982 through 1984, Renault fitted 145R13 Michelin ZX or 145R13 XZX tyres to their base models. The later second-generation cars fitted 145/70R13, 155/70R13, or 185/65R13 tyres to the non-turbocharged Renault 5 models.
