Find Tyres for 2014-2019 Peugeot 208 (A9)

Frequently asked questions

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

• Are all-season tyres suitable for the Peugeot 208?

  All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Peugeot 208 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Peugeot 208?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.

• Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Peugeot 208?

  Some trims of the 208 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Peugeot usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.

• What does the chassis code A9 mean for tyre choice?

  The A9 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Peugeot 208. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.

• What's different about the 2014-2019 208 compared with other generations?

  This is the 2014-2019 generation of the Peugeot 208. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
