And if I recall correctly, the only tire available for it was a Michelin 
X, because the geniuses at Renault specified a 13-1/2", three-bolt wheel 
for it.  (I also vaguely remember that the car had a severe problem with 
door hinges--they wore out at a prodigious rate, the end result being 
the doors fell off when one least expected it.)


Cheers.
