Brand: Michelin, Tyre Diameter: 13 | Alpine A310 V6 1976-1984
Wider, and lower profile tyres were fitted to match the V6 model's improved performance, with 185/70VR13 at the front and 205/70VR13 on the rear.
Later in the model's life, it was also fitted with fashionable metric wheels and tyres. Michelin still make this type of tyre, in 190/55VR340 front, and 220/55VR365 rear.
Sales of the 4 cylinder A310 had been disappointing, so Alpine facelifted the model's styling and performance quite dramatically. The car's looks were watered down a little, with fewer front lights, and a spoiler for the rear. This did have the effect of making the car look more aggressive, which was backed up by the addition of Renault's V6 engine.
