Find Tyres for Citroën C1

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Citroën C1 in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Citroën C1.

• Does the EU tyre label help when choosing tyres for a Citroën C1?

  Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the Citroën C1, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.

• Where do I find the load index for Citroën C1 tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Citroën C1.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new C1 tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Citroën C1 preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.

• Why does the Citroën C1 have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Citroën C1 has had 2 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.
