Les meilleurs pneus pour la Renault Clio 182 Cup Pack

Vraiment impressionné par la PS3, IMO le meilleur pneu de route d'été pour le sport MK2 Clio, bien qu'apparemment maintenant impossible à trouver dans ce montage, espérons-le un problème d'approvisionnement temporaire.

J'achèterais à nouveau à cause du prix, mais la manipulation n'est pas très bonne. Je les ai obtenus pour ma Clio 182 et la réponse de la voiture est devenue trop rapide et manquait de linéarité dans la façon dont les forces latérales étaient accumulées, vous donnant l'impression qu'il n'y a pas assez de soutien latéral. La précision n'était pas vraiment bonne, comme pour évaluer l'angle de braquage requis pour certains virages. La prise en main sur le sec est bonne, un peu plus faible que prévu sur le mouillé mais suffisamment progressive et prévisible à la limite. L'usure dans cette voiture légère est bonne. Le confort est bon, les impacts sont arrondis et le bruit de roulement est faible (205 / 45R16). J'ai eu le même pneu pour la Megane rs175 (225 / 40R18) dans la spécification A0 d'Audi, car j'avais conduit une A3 sur ces pneus en circuit et je l'ai trouvé superbe en termes de plaisir de conduite. L'équilibre est ludique et avec un sous-virage faible, mais un sous-virage plus faible dans ce type de voiture serait préférable. L'adhérence à l'état neuf sur sol mouillé ou sec était bonne et prévisible à l'approche de la limite. Dans la Mégane, ce pneu a duré de nombreux kilomètres (8k +), mais maintenant vers la fin de leur vie, ils ont eu des fissures sur le bord extérieur du motif et l'adhérence sur le sec n'est tout simplement pas suffisante, en particulier la traction / le freinage. Le confort est terrible depuis le début, avec des forces d'impact trop importantes et un bruit trop élevé (bruit basse fréquence), en particulier le bruit de roulement. La rondeur est juste et le shake est bien contrôlé, absorbant les impacts avec une sensation de qualité suffisante.

J'ai acheté ces pneus pour ma Clio 182 pour un usage routier fougueux et une utilisation occasionnelle sur piste. Une fois que les pneus ont un peu de chaleur, les niveaux d'adhérence augmentent sur le sec. De plus, la progressivité des pneus est bonne, ils vous donnent beaucoup d'avertissement avant de lâcher prise. Les flancs plus rigides donnent également de bonnes sensations sur le circuit. Ils se sont également levés pour suivre le travail et ne sont pas portés aussi vite que je le pensais. Je conduis rarement la voiture dans des conditions humides. Cependant, ils sont ok mais sans chaleur sur la route, ils peuvent être un peu moins prévisibles. Ils n'aiment pas non plus l'eau stagnante! Par rapport au Michelin PS3 que j'utilisais auparavant, ils ne sont pas aussi gérables dans des conditions humides. J'ai parcouru 3000 milles de fougue et un voyage vers le Nürburgring et il reste environ 4 mm au centre du pneu, ce qui est très impressionnant. Je serais tenté d'acheter ces gains, mais je peux opter pour un Federal 595RSR ou un Nankang NS2r pour comparaison.

L'adhérence à sec de ces pneus est étonnante. Peu importe à quel point j'essaye, je ne peux pas freiner la traction (sur la route), je suis extrêmement impressionné par eux. Les miens sont pompés jusqu'à 38 psi car ils n'ont pas aussi bien performé à 33. Alors assurez-vous de garder la pression élevée en eux et vous rirez au-delà de 63 ampères dans les coins.

La prise humide est une bouilloire de poisson très différente. Vous devez ralentir car ils sont tout simplement dangereux. Aquaplanes très facilement.

This is the second time I've had these fitted to a car so will try and be as honest as possible.

At the moment there is a full set on the clio 182 which gets driven pretty hard. The dry grip is great for a tyre in this price range and the wet grip is pretty amazing (which you would expect from a "rainsport" tyre).

HOWEVER.... It may be the size that these are in for this particular car (last car was a Clio 197 with 17" tyres) but the side walls feel too soft. You can actually feel the car wobble a bit on the tyres. Granted you have to be pushing it but this is something I never experienced on the Clio 197. So much so after one track day the shoulders of the front two tyres are pretty much gone.

Wear is the other problem. They do wear pretty fast but the compromise is the price and the grip levels you are getting.

All in all I would probably buy these tyres again if they were a slightly lower profile perhaps. Seem a bit squishy at this size. For the price they are good.

Bought 4 of these a few years ago as a gamble after seeing the A ratings, fitted to a Clio Sport and I wasn't disappointed... Much better than expensive brands I've tried and wet and dry grip is fantastic for everyday driving and twisty road fun!

Tyre life is also ridiculously good, I swap the front and rears to prolong the life of the tyres and had a set of 4 on my Clio for 2 years, I highly recommend them from my experience!

I have these tyres fitted to 195/50/15 wheels for track use, but I also use them on the road. The dry grip is good, but not as good as a slick tyre per say, but this is to be expected on a road tyre. The wet grip is pretty poor, it is almost dangerous on a greasy road if you're not careful, but in the pouring rain, as long as you're steady, you won't meet a sticky end. They are much better at straight line braking in the wet than they are at lateral grip, so that's a saving grace where I'm concerned. You do get quite good feedback from the tyres, but the sidewalls are very soft and spongy and this does shine through in fast bends. They are a very progressive tyre, giving huge amounts of grip up to the limit but when you pass the limit they slow you down in a slide rather than spinning you out of control, they are very easy to recover. I have had these tyres fitted for about 6 months, completing one full trackday at Cadwell and a few months of steady road driving and they are wearing very well for a soft tyre, but my car is very, very light, so they won't be under much strain anyway under normal driving conditions. They are reasonably comfortable (more so that the standard 205/45/16 wheels) as my tyres in particular have a larger aspect ratio (side wall height) than the standard wheels, giving a softer ride. As said earlier the sidewalls are very soft, which is good for comfort. I don't think I would buy these tyres again due to the softness of the side wall, as they're not very good at all on track. But I have also had these tyres on a Focus ST in 215/40/18, and they were amazing on the track, although I did still manage to peel the inside tyre from the wheel and scrape my new alloys on the track... But I was driving, admitidly, like a tool. A good summer, road tyre.

I run the tyres in 205/45/16 w on my Clio Sport 182. They replaced the OEM Michelin Pilot Exlato Tyres in the same size.
I use the car on the german Autobahn and B-Roads for sporty and everyday driving ans I have covered 2.500 Miles on the tyres.
The sidewalls are too soft for the car`s setup (suspension still OEM). The car feels indifferent. You are not able to find a clearly defined braking point on B-Roads and on turn in the tyres are far away from being precise. Where the tyre stands out is in the noise and comfort level. It is the quietest tyre I´ve ever driven.
In the Wet the tyre is quite good and works well. If you drive it to its limits on B-Roads it gets tricky. I left the road and luckily just entered
the grass on one of my best known roads. This incident was definitely not caused by my driving style (6 witnesses, 40 mph, tyres 300miles old) but by the low grip when the tyre was new. This was a shocking experience I never had with another tyre.
On the limit at B-Roads these tyres offer a huge amount of grip when you have entered a corner but and the tyre is "warm". Turn in is as the braking completely undefined and indifferent. No comparison to the Michelins. In the corners grip is good and there is definitely only a little bit of understeer. On the exit of corners there is a lot of grip, too.
So my overall verdict:
My mind is divided. On the one hand a very quiet, comfortable tyre which offers a good amount of grip in the corners and in the dry.
On the other hand I wouldn`t recommend them for sporty driving style on B-Roads and sporty Cars. Imprecise on braking and turn in, when new a shocking low level of grip. It ruines driving fun on my car completely.
I left them in the garage and put my old (2007) and worn Michelin Exaltos on when I went on track and left them on the car afterwards. I think this says everything. Leaving new rubber in the garage and using the worn ones is not the sense of buying new tyres.

My hint: Spent more money, buy Bridgestone Re050a (mainly for Track RE070) or Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 or Pilot Sport 3. More money to spent but an improvement over these "wannabe sporty" shopping cart tyres!

I had RS2's and was super impressed by their grip in the wet, so naturally wanted to try out the new range, especially at the price offered by Camskill (£54 per corner)

Initial impressions were that the asymmetric pattern looks weird on the passenger side as the pattern appears as though it would cause aquaplaning, however in practice it does not. They skidded around a little at first but after running them in they have started to grip much better.

I find these tyres to be upgrades in every way but overall grip on the RS2's. They are very good in the wet, where standing water is concerned but not so good when there is grease around (still not bad, don't get me wrong).

My feeling is for the money they are great. Compared with other tyres they are very good overall, but they seem to perform as well in the dry as they do in the wet, which seems odd to me. Surely they should have better dry grip.

They sidewalls are harder, the feedback is loads better, they are somewhat progressive and they are quiet too. I think that Uniroyal have answered all of the complaints about the RS2's with some expense of grip.

Good but not great, and my reason for saying this is that I value the feedback above all else on a tyre. You would only ever notice this when taking your car to the limit, and you can find that limit on a clio by cornering hard and getting one rear wheel off the ground, which with these tyres you would never be able to do unless you are braking hard into a turn.

If I buy budget tyres again, I'll probably choose Federal SS595's but I would rate these tyres ahead of the Falken FK452's. They aren't really up to the standards of high end premium tyres in my opinion however.

fantastic tyre for a hot hatch. pushed every day (on the limit of grip)and last about 8,000 miles.
wet grip is unreal and dry grip is good. only downfall is slightly too flexy sidewalls.
going from some budgets to thse transformed the car, my next tyres are going to be yokohama ad08's.
