Renault Clio for new Michelin Tyres
A smart Renault Clio, a sensible tyre choice, and another job well done at Pellon Tyres
Another busy day rolled by here at Pellon Tyres, and one job in particular stood out – not because it was complicated, but because it was a proper example of a customer doing things the right way.
A very smart-looking Renault Clio pulled in for a free tyre check. The owner had that familiar feeling many drivers get – the car just didn’t feel quite right on the road, and he suspected the tyres were getting near the end of their useful life.
As it turned out, his instincts were spot on.
Four tyres needed – and a quality choice made
After a full inspection, it was clear the Clio needed four new tyres, and the spare was checked at the same time for good measure. Rather than going for the cheapest option, the customer chose a tyre that I’ve always rated highly – the Michelin Primacy, in size 195/55R16 87V.
In my opinion, that’s a great choice for a car like the Clio.
The tyres were fitted, the pressures set correctly, and the car was then treated to a wheel alignment to make sure those new tyres would wear evenly and give the best possible handling. The whole job was completed by Adam, one of our long-serving tyre fitters, who’s seen just about every tyre and wheel combination you can imagine over the years.
Job done properly, with no corners cut.
A bit of history – the Renault Clio in the UK
The Renault Clio has been a familiar sight on UK roads since it arrived in the early 1990s. Over the years, it’s built a solid reputation as a practical, economical and comfortable small car, ideal for town driving but perfectly capable on longer runs too.
It’s been especially popular with:
- new drivers
- small families
- commuters
- and drivers wanting a car that’s easy to live with
The Clio has also had its moments in motorsport and performance trim, which has helped keep its image fresh. But at heart, it’s always been about sensible motoring – and that makes tyre choice all the more important.
Around Halifax and Calderdale, where roads can be tight, hilly and often wet, a car like the Clio needs tyres that inspire confidence.
Why Michelin Primacy tyres suit the Clio perfectly: Renault Clio for new Michelin Tyres
The Michelin Primacy range has been around for many years and has earned its reputation through quiet performance, excellent wet-weather grip, and long life.
They’re designed with everyday driving in mind, offering:
- strong braking performance, especially in the wet
- low road noise for comfortable journeys
- good fuel efficiency
- long, even wear when correctly aligned
For drivers who value safety and comfort over flashy tread patterns, the Primacy range ticks all the right boxes. They’re often fitted as original equipment on new cars, which says a lot about the trust manufacturers place in them.
On Calderdale’s roads – with their mix of steep hills, sharp bends and patchy surfaces – tyres like these really come into their own. They give predictable handling and good grip when the weather turns, which it often does round here.
Why wheel alignment matters just as much as tyres: Renault Clio for new Michelin Tyres
Fitting new tyres without checking the alignment is a false economy. Even slight misalignment can scrub away tread far quicker than most people realise.
That’s why this Clio also had a wheel alignment carried out straight after the tyres were fitted. It ensures:
- straight tracking
- better steering feel
- even tyre wear
- and longer tyre life
With our local roads taking a toll on suspension and steering components, alignment checks are more important than ever.
Yorkshire roads demand good tyres
Driving around Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, Elland and the surrounding areas isn’t the same as cruising on flat motorways all day. We’ve got:
- hills that test braking
- bends that demand grip
- rain that never seems far away
- and the odd pothole to keep you on your toes
Good tyres and correct alignment make a real difference – not just to safety, but to how relaxed a car feels to drive.
