Had them for 3 winter seasons. Snow grip wasnt premium. They aged badly and now they are not soft at all making them skid during hard wet braking.

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.
How long do tyres last on the Renault Megane?
Across 37 end of life reviews from Renault Megane drivers, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 15,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 10,000 miles and 29,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.
Every tyre reviewed on the Renault Megane
The complete record, including discontinued tyres and tyres with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 157 tyres have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.

What Renault Megane drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Got those after the previous ones (primacy 4) worn out after 120.000 kilometers. So yeah, definitely worth the price.
These are a bit louder than the previous ones, but handle great in dry and wet. Got 15k km on them, and look like new.
Amazing tyre would not consider anything else for a daly driven car. Dry performance is not as great as one from Premium Contact 6, altough steering response is better. Wet performance is superb, in heavy rain it feels like driving on dry. Highway driving they are comfortable and quiet and stable. Overtime the wear did not seem to impact neither wet or dry performance.
After the first negative impressions, i've got used to the difference in feeling and feedback they give in weather changes. Even when they feel soft, or rock hard (same pressure, different ambient temperature) they handle well and give adequate road feedback. You need to be aware when a cold, rainy day comes after a warm, sunny one, they will be terrible in the first wet drive. After that, they will be dependable and informative as usual.
Wild dry weather grip, awesome levels of feedback and super confidence inspiring to push from the get go. Haven't done much spirited driving in the wet so unsure of wet weather performance on the limit. Surprisingly comfortable for daily use as well and seem to be fairly resilient in terms of durability. Also excellent on rough road (not perfect track conditions), handles bumps really well. Highly recommend!
It was mostly used on intercity roads and sometimes within the city. It has excellent road handling and braking in hot weather and heavy rain. Sometimes the tires spin out. Another disadvantage is the sudden loss of tire grip on sharp turns.
This is one of the worst tires this brand has ever produced.
I'm hesitant to choose this brand for new tires.

I have Megane GT. Use Sport Contact 5 from inicial buy of the car. Always secure in dry ir wet conditions, but wear is short... Never less... Still use the same. Very good tires
I have not had these tires for very long, but my impressions are generally positive. There were no problems with balancing. At speeds of 120-150 it behaves perfectly, no vibrations or anything like that. I did not hear any abnormal noise, at least at low speeds. The name of the tire really corresponds to it, the tires are very comfortable. The set cost me $200. For its price, I definitely recommend it!
Done about 1000 miles now. Dry grip is fantastic, super sharp and responsive. Done alot of cold (3-5 degrees) wet driving at night and they've never missed a beat. No wheelspin or loss of grip.
They absorb potholes and speed bumps wonderfully. Paid £129.99 a corner from Asda tyres, they were nearly £30 a corner cheaper than Michelin which my 19inch wheels are PS4S. I prefer the Bridgestones.
