My tyre shop put me onto Nexen about 10 years ago and this is the 4th car I have used them on. You cant fault them. Wet or dry they are surefooted and predictable. They may not carry the cache of Michelin or Pirelli but then you are not paying a premium for the badge...

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.

What Renault Clio RS200 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These tyres have given me a real mix of emotions to drive they are simply brilliant both in the wet and in the dry, would say some of the best tyres I have used.
But here come the big BUT, they crack and show wear at such a rapid rate, I know they are a performance tyre and I expect a higher wear rate, but to have to replace after 2 years and less than 5000 miles due to cracking is not what I would expect, simple advice is avoid as I will be doing with all Bridgestone products until I hear of improved longevity!

Couldn't stomach paying £190 for Michelin PS4 tyres in 205/40/18 when I pay £190 for PS4S in 235/40/19 for my Megane RS.
Anyway, the tyres feel very, very good. Grip is there wet or dry. It doesn't understeer, you can feel how the car is reacting. It's predictable. Great stopping distances.
It does seem a bit more noisy but the exhaust does mask that mostly.

Bought two sets of these now to use on my Clio for trackdays, the grip and wear rate on these tyres are amazing. I managed to get 7 Full trackdays out of the first set and was impressed enough to buy another set.
Being fitted to a weekend/track day car as a set of tyres for road use, I will skip reviewing comfort and wear. Performance wise, there is no alternative at this size. It is on a next level compering to P Zero Nero or CSC5. Road feedback and dry grip is amazing for an road tyre, plus there is a good rim protection. Sure something like MPSC2 would offer even better driving experiance once all conditions are met, but for 99% of a time this can get same, if not even better drive. Due to comments on here, I have not test these on track.
Great tyre for allround daily driving. I´ve used them on dry track, where I they tend to overheat easily if you´re pushing hard, but they´re a great allround package. On the wet, they´re fantastic, very predictable and an with an impressive amount of grip. If you don´t want to go into much hassle, these tyres will be perfect for an allround use.
I had Toyo proz sport and found them to be good but in the wet not so good. So bought a set of Roadstone Eurovis 04 and they are really really good and for the price to. I do recommend them even without denting your pocket to muchðŸ‘
Insane dry grip great handling.. a quite noisy but i don't personally care about that.
Had to change all 4 of my tyres on my 2010 Renault Clio RS200 went from perilli p zero nero to the ps4s and woah what a difference these tyres make to the car. Only had them on for 500miles or so and so far i am very impressed with them. Highly recommend ps4s
Feels difficult to quantify the tires as previous car was a Clio 182 and it was easier to push pass the limit than the 200.
Tires were rotated around 9000 which was really a bit too late as one rear is now down to 2mm but front is at 4mm. Ideally I'd replace all four in one go.
The tires + cup suspension make it hard going on London's pot holed & humped roads. Feels like I'm driving a caged beast in London with all the 20mph limits.
