Fitment comes from each tyre'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.

Continental EcoContact 6 195-55-18 Renault 5 8,500 miles September 10, 2026

My recent experience with eco tyres is a bunch of ePrimacy, not on the same car.
Although the 6Q behave as designed on dry roads, I find them noticeably worse than eprimacy everywhere.
The positives: Road noise is very good and highway driving is pleasant on good tarmac, good centering. Consumption is good. They drive well on gravel/dirt and can take a bit of torture with rocks (if that's your thing).
They can also handle the S.European summers, did some 400+km trips @130km/h under 40C ambient, didn't notice anything weird.

the bad:
The steering feel is bad, I have a floating sensation.
At the slightest drop of water tyres become dangerous.
On bad city roads, ABS kicks in constantly (dry or wet).
I am swapping them out asap, won't drive a second winter on those. imo much worse than eprimacy and even the latter are not good tyres (all eco touring tyres annoy me).

Goodyear DuraGrip 155-70-13-T Renault 5 15,000 miles May 19, 2017

I bought these Goodyear Duragrip and made about 20.000 km in 4 years. In town, motorway and also curvy mountain roads. When they were new I was able to climb a hill even in snow, where my newer station wagon didn't make it even with winter tyres (Goodyear Ultragrip 7+, 2years old)! The grip was always very good.
Then (after buying a new car) I parked it in my garage with still 6 mm of profile left.
Five years later I re-registered that old Renault R5, tyres still look good, no cracks at all, I don't even feel any shaking at higher speed! But now they are about 10 years old and in a little faster driven turns it doesn't hold well anymore. It's time for a new set. For a higher millage i would defintely buy Goodyear, but for yearly max 2.000 of sunday-driven kilometers I will probbably choose a cheaper brand.

Michelin Energy E3B 145-70-13-T Renault 5 5,000 miles September 2, 2016

Went from Sava Effecta+ to this tyre. Amazing difference. This tires shoot water abou 1,5-2m tall on wet road and grip it and don't let go. Not as good on dry as I was expecting, but just slightly. Excelent tire non the less. It is a bit expensive, but it is well worth it. I never felt aquaplaning ever since I got this tires and I am very happy.

Yokohama A539 195-45-15- Renault 5 18,000 miles March 17, 2015

Good all rounders imo, rear tyres still have loads of rubber left, very pleased with them :). I've used the same brand for around 11years and lost more than a few people in the corners in that time ;) lol.
