Tyre question

[GeorgiaR4]

Ok, so I am new with my Renault 4 and very excited to have her. Always had and still have many Minis so hope my Renault questions are not too dim.
My tyres at the front are 155 R13 and the rear are 135 R13==== is this normal.

That's not at all normal. The factory suggested 135 or 145 tyres with 85 profile. Whichever you choose the same type should be fitted all round.

The later cars with the 1108 engine have an accurate speedometer reading with the 145 tyres, and overread with the 135 tyres, but the 135 tyres are better for acceleration and would probably be best suited to the 850.

No, original fitment is 135 x 13 all round. However, you can fit 145 x 13 with no problems at all.

So best go with 135's then.
