Tyre work really well. The Zoe overall has more road noise than the Continental ECO 6 on our ID3, so when changing the rear tires (The Michelins were not available) we put Continentals on the rear of the Zoe
All in all, the car drives like a go kart, and the michelins have not give any "moment" in wet, dry, braking or corniering

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 Zoe drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great tyre with good grip on compacted snow. Good on wet as well. As I drive electric I appreciate, that Dunlop Winter is very quiet tyre. Great price as well. Set of tyres cost me 250 euros.
Abnormal wear on this Uniroyal tire on the outer sidewalls in less than 1500 km! Poor quality.
Got them new from the dealer on a used 2017 Zoe r90 40 didn't knew this brand but ok , as many said, performance on wet is outright dangerous, slipped twice on them and didn't realize at first what it was bit after only 3000 miles the tyres were total goners and it wasn't even summer! After changing them the zoe finally sits firmly on the road and I know what tyres not to fit ever again. Would sdvise to swap them earlier.
Incredible rounded tyre with low rolling resistance. I can recommend this tyre especially for EV drivers.
These came on our Renault Zoe, we try and maximise range so can't comment on their performance and handling but premature ageing is definitely an issue. After 16,000 miles/4 years the front's have plenty of tread but the blocks are starting to break up and the sidewalls and shoulders are badly perished. Rears are in better condition than the fronts were but still have aged badly.
Following an (all too common) front puncture we replaced both fronts with generic brands. The OEM Michelin EV are expensive and hard to source.
Had the Michelin EV tyres since new on a Renault Zoe. Had two replaced due to sidewall damage, one from a sharp curb while parking, the other my wife was driving so no idea why that one went flat. The tyres presently have 43 000 km on them, but the front steering would turn side to side at very low speed, nothing perceptible at normal speed. I took them to a garage to get the balance checked and he told me they were deformed and that they needed replacing. Said they were old! I have serious doubts as to his analysis.
Only been 4,5 years since I bought the car and it looked like they would have run to 60 000 km before wear was at the limit of 1,6 mm.

Came new with my Zoe. I have not rotated the tyres and I've found the fronts are now past it, however they've lasted 18,000 spirited miles. Wearing on outside shoulder and some of the blockwork is beginning to break up so I'll be changing out of safety than because they are too worn. If the shoulder and block had survived i don't doubt 20,000 would have been easily achievable. The back tyres are still like new.
Biggest issue is price, £100 for what is basically a small, skinny tyre! Outrageous!

I got this with a new Renault Zoe. Within 6 months I've had to replace 3 of them and fix one due to punctures.
As a comparison to my previous car which I used for the same journey I've had one puncture in 4 years.
They are so thin. Especially the sidewalls.
I purchased generic replacements and they have lasted much better.

A surprisingly good tyre given the rubbish eco-boxes that they're generally fitted to; good grip levels in both the dry and wet even when compared to the Michelin PS3's, premium vredestein's & continentals we've had on our other cars...
The only downside is the lifetime... The fronts only have a couple of mm of tread left after 4500 miles.
