In this article we will answer the question: what are the wheels on a Renault Duster? Automakers have a wide range of choices. Initially, tires were chosen for this car Viatti Bosco A/T, but then suppliers began to change.
Standard tire size 215/65R16 by 685.9 mm. They are specifically designed for compact crossovers, which is what the car is. Many owners expressed their opinion, and, as it turned out, the standard tires suited almost everyone, mostly there were only positive reviews. If you decide to buy a Duster, then you can rest assured that the “original” tires will not let you down.
Technology
The tire's rubber compound is made using a special technology called ViaMIX, which provides excellent driving performance. As mentioned above, the wheel size is 215/65R16. And the sizes standard disks are: 16×6.5 ET50 PSD 114.3×5 DIA 66.1 mm.
Viatti Bosco A/T tires combine both noiselessness and comfort, which is a good indicator - driving a car better and easier.
Tire pressure
Renault Duster tire pressure in the city it should be 2.0, on the highway 2.1-2.2, but not more. It’s better to keep 2.0 all the time while having a comfortable chassis.
Other wheel sizes
When buying a car, the tires and wheels are good, but if you decide to change to others, then a certain size will do:
- 215/60R17 (689.8);
- 215/70R15 (682);
- 225/65R16 (698.90);
- 235/60R16 (688.40);
- 225/70R15 (696);
- 225/60R17 (701);
- 215/75R15 (703);
- 215/70R16 (707).
But what about disks, then you need to choose 6.5 × 15, Offset 50, PCD 5 × 114.3 with a central hole of 66.1 mm. If you are interested in the issue of protecting wheels from theft, then you can install locks. They are not expensive and they are not difficult to install. The spare wheel is located either inside or under the body, outside. It depends on
Why is it so important to only use properly inflated tires? Not only fuel consumption, but also the safety of the driver and passengers while driving depends on the condition of the wheelbase. The pressure in Renault Duster, Logan or Sandero tires should always be normal. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates such indicators on the car itself - in the area of the door on the driver's side or in the location of the filling tank.
Car tire pressure measurement In addition to the fact that with properly inflated tires the car will be operated competently and carefully, the correct use of the entire chassis of your Renault Logan or Duster will be ensured. By the way, this rule applies to all vehicles.

Tire pressure cannot be determined by eye. Outwardly, you can only notice any deformations on the tire itself. This will only happen if the car is systematically used with the wrong air to tire size ratio. Then various deformations form on the tread.
You can accurately measure the pressure in the chassis of a Renault Logan or Duster (this also includes Sandero and Scenic) only with the help of special pressure gauges. Based on the mechanism of operation, the following types of equipment are distinguished:
- switches;
- electronic.
Mechanical pressure gauge for car tires Electronic ones are considered to be the most accurate among these devices. The error here is no more than 0.05 bar. If you do not plan to perform such procedures systematically, you can use a mechanical type of device. True, such devices can only be called accurate with a stretch.

Please note that in winter it is better to measure pressure only with an electronic pressure gauge. Other types of devices may show incorrect results.
Standard tire pressure for Renault Sandero Pressure standards for Renault
This brand of vehicle is quite unique. It is impossible to inflate tires “for all occasions” here. Based on the requirements specified in the instruction manual. The tire pressure for Renault Logan (Duster, Scenic) should be as follows:
- if the diameter of the disks is 14 cm - 2.0 kgf/cm²;
- with a diameter of 15 cm - 2.1 kgf/cm²;
- at maximum load, you need to add 0.2 kgf/cm² to the indicators;
- when using a loaded trailer - increase by 0.8 kgf/cm²;
- when driving on sandy terrain, the pressure must be reduced, but not more than 1 kgf/cm².
Table with standard tire pressure for Renault Scenic You should also take into account that when driving on snow or wet roads, the indicators should not change.
Specialists at the service station will not only check the correct pressure in the tires of your Logan or Duster, but will also pump it up or deflate it to the optimal condition. There you can find out exactly what pressure is correct for a certain brand of car.
If you plan to travel long distances, it is better to measure the pressure before the start of the trip or after at least 3 hours have passed since the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Correct pressure measurement
It is necessary to measure the pressure on Renault Logan (the same applies to Duster and Scenic). Taking into account the following conditions:
- only when the car is “cold” (during the last 3 hours, the mileage has not exceeded 1.5 km);
- tires must be cold.
Also take into account that readings need to be taken from all 4 wheels. The spare wheel must also undergo a systematic check.
Table with standard tire pressure for Renault Duster Measuring process:
- the protective cap is removed from the pressure gauge;
- using a special button, the readings on the device are reset;
- the device is installed on the bus;
- By pressing the valve, readings are taken.
Based on the readings on the pressure gauge, the tire is inflated or deflated.
Checking car tire pressure Consequences of incorrect pressure
Why is it so important to maintain the correct air volume ratio in a tire? If the pressure is systematically in an incorrect state. The following negative consequences are possible:
- fuel will be wasted;
- grip on the road surface will deteriorate significantly;
- There will be a risk that the tire will burst while driving, which will lead to an accident.
In addition, the car's chassis simply becomes unusable. Agree, repairing almost the entire wheelbase of a Logan or Duster will be much more expensive than buying a monometer.
If you do not have the opportunity to carry out such operations yourself, you should carry out regular technical inspections of the Renault Duster at a service station. The better you treat your vehicle, the longer it will last you.
Everyone knows that the pressure in Renault Duster tires should be two atmospheres. In Pascals it would be 2.027 times 10 to the fifth power. The pressure must be kept the same both front and rear (and in the spare tire), and in winter and summer it should not differ either. It is recommended to measure the pressure on “cooled” tires - two hours should pass after the trip. But, despite the simplicity of the recommendations, many manage to make a mistake - they usually overinflate the tires. Let's look at what this leads to.
The value “2 atmospheres” is also suitable for off-road use. Let's look at the video for proof.
So, the tire pressure of Renault Duster should correspond to the table, and it is better to measure the value an hour or two after the trip. It would be even better to measure the pressure on “cold” tires, that is, before the trip.
A warm tire will always have slightly higher pressure. But this is not a reason to unscrew the cap and then bleed the air to “normal”. There is no need to do this.
Renault Duster on a standard stamped wheel, the factory recommends a tire pressure of no more than 2.1 atmospheres
It is usually recommended to check pressure when the ambient temperature changes. That is, if there are seasonal temperature changes, you need to connect the pressure gauge before the trip. If it's cold outside, the pressure will be low, and vice versa. And then you may need a pump, but in general you need to check the tire pressure once or twice a week.
In theory, it is possible to maintain high blood pressure. This helps save fuel. True, on overinflated tires.
Control measurements
Let's conduct an experiment: increase the pressure to 2.3 atmospheres. And we get the following:
- Fuel consumption on the highway (90-105 km/h) is reduced by 4.5% ();
- When driving at high speed, the body begins to shake and vibrations appear. The noise level also increases, although we have a restyled version of the crossover;
- They also say that it is better not to drive on the highway in the rain with overinflated tires.
Now let’s answer the question, what pressure should be in Renault Duster tires if you want to save on fuel. You can change the value upward within small limits - up to +0.1 or +0.2 atm. But the savings in any case will not exceed 4-5%. Draw conclusions.
Why, after all, do they increase the pressure on Duster?
Judging by the reviews, it is better to keep the pressure in the Renault Duster wheels at 2.2 atmospheres. But only if you don’t plan to leave the asphalt.
Consequences of going off-road with high blood pressure
Owners of a car with a two-liter engine do this: inflate the tires, get a 5 percent savings and are satisfied.
A crossover with a 2.0 liter engine weighs more than a car in the basic version. But tires are inflated not at all because of the weight of the car, but only for the purpose of fuel economy. A two-liter engine “eats” more, which means you need to try to improve efficiency.
By the way, one thing is really important - that the pressure is the same on the left and right. This is especially true for the wheels installed at the front. Be careful – we don’t need “skew”!
Finding the optimal pressure yourself - video instructions
Experienced Renault Duster car owners know that their tire pressure should be 2 atmospheres. The pressure in the wheels should be the same everywhere, both on the rear and front axles, and don’t forget about the spare tire. You need to check the level on cold tires; after driving, more than 1 hour should pass. Many owners neglect these simple recommendations and overinflate their tires. Next we will try to find out what this can lead to.
When to measure wheel levels?
When a car manufacturer draws up instructions on the pressure that needs to be pumped into a tire, it means that it will be measured on “cold” tires; the manufacturer Renault Duster is no exception in this regard.
Renault Duster, like other cars, has a table for tire pressure.
It is important to remember that you need to measure your blood pressure before the ride or 1-2 hours after the ride. In a hot tire the level will always be higher, but this does not mean that you need to bleed the air; you don’t need to do that.
If the air temperature has changed, this is a reason to check the tire pressure level. That is, for example, in winter or with the onset of frost, you need to check the pressure in all tires with a pressure gauge. In cold temperatures the pressure will be lower and you will need a pump. It is enough to check the level 1 or 2 times a week.
If you change the instructions a little
According to some data, it is also possible to maintain high blood pressure. High pressure in Renault Duster helps save fuel on the highway. But there are also limitations; you shouldn’t go off-road at such pressure.
Let's conduct an experimental study and inflate the tires to 2.3 atmospheres. And we will see these results.
- Gasoline consumption on the highway at speeds (90-105 km/h) is reduced by 4.5% (to control this process we use a function in Duster called ECO MODE);
- When driving at such a high speed, the car body begins to shake and “throw” to the side, and vibrations appear in the cabin. The noise level also increases significantly, although in our study we used a restyled version of the Renault crossover;
- There is also an opinion that with high tire pressure it is better not to go on the road in rainy weather.
Now we have to answer the question, what should be the tire pressure on a Renault Duster to save fuel? You can increase the level within +0.1-+0.2 atmospheres, but the fuel benefit will be no more than 4 percent, again when driving along the highway over long distances and not in rainy weather. The choice is yours!
Why do they increase the pressure on Duster?
According to reviews from Renault Duster owners, they keep the tire pressure at 2.2 atmospheres, but they do not plan to drive off the asphalt. Owners of 2 liter Duster variants do the following: they inflate the tires, and they save 5% on gasoline and everyone is happy.
The version with a 2-liter engine weighs a little more than the car in the initial version, but they increase the level in the wheels not because of the weight of the car, but only in the intention of saving on fuel. A two-liter engine consumes more gasoline, which means you need to find a reason to save.
During operation, the main thing is that the pressure in the tire is the same on both the right and left, especially on the front axle. Be careful, a “skewed” car will not bring you anything good.
