<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.)<br>
