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.

Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun 195-40-17 Renault Twingo RS 133 Cup 17,000 miles February 19, 2026

3 years on

Have run the Falkens over 2 + [1/2] full sets.

Car is Renault Twingo RS. Cup chassis "Silverstone" ltd edition.

Pretty specific size 195-40/17 so not a lot out there.

Have zero complaints about falkens in wet dry or during winter - as long as you drive to the "season".

Surprising in the wet, excellent in dry. Wear is good. My tyres come as XL Vs

It may well be the chassis that is allowing them to flourish.

Seasonally, there are better out there.

But as an all rounder they are v effective and the price is really good to say the least.

In fact I will go as far as to say performance to £/$ wise they are a steal.

Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun 225-45-17- Renault Twingo RS 1,000 miles July 19, 2021

I thought I would regret my choice as the 4 tires were mounted on a Twingo RS 133 hp. Before that, I had the opportunity to try out the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo or Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (no longer available in my size). On the contrary, the car is generally much healthier when it is wet. And in the dry the behavior is very good. And even with the 195 / 40R17, the comfort is significantly better. (Noise and road defects). I think I would have to try them out on a track to find a defect. For the price (70 €) the price / performance ratio is unbeatable. You have to be crazy to spend 120 € to buy ContiSportContact 3 (released in 2006 !!!).

Federal 595RSR 205-45-16- Renault Twingo RS 133 Cup 6,000 miles December 26, 2020

Used them for spirited road drives and a tourist drive on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Great tyre for someone new to semi slicks, wants a cheap high performancestreet tyre or regularly does non-competitive track days, but not competitive driving. I had mine for 10000k's before selling the car... was down to the first of two indicator lines despite hard driving. Noise is high, sidewall is stiff but shouldn't matter considering their intended purpose.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 195-40-17-V Renault Twingo RS 20,000 miles September 12, 2017

I had 4 on my Renault Twingo RS 133. On the dry, not much to blame this tire. Accurate, sporty behavior. But he suffers from some shortcomings on the wet. For wear, it is average.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 205-40-17-W Renault Twingo RS 133 Cup 6,000 miles May 21, 2017

Superb grip on twisty country roads (Hardly ever need to use the brakes to take a even the fastest bends)
Great wet & dry weather braking, much better stopping distance than the Nankang 'doughnuts' that were fitted to the car when I bought it.
I really like the 'Rim protection' sidewall ridge on these tyres too, especially when my wife borrows the car as she hasn't got a clue as to how near to the curb the wheels are when she's trying to park.
I would say my only gripe with the front set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's I bought last year is they have only lasted for just over 6,000 miles, which is a little disappointing, but I suppose if Goodyear made them more durable, they would be no better than the very pretty, but totally useless, Nankang doughnuts that were fitted before.
