Are OEM tyres still fitted to new Peugeot 308 cars?

New UK Peugeot 308 cars leave the factory with original-equipment (OEM) tyres specified by Peugeot. When replacing, you can stay on the same OEM brand or move to an alternative provided the size, load index and speed rating match.

How long should tyres last on the 2021-present Peugeot 308?

Typical UK tread life on the Peugeot 308 is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.

What should Peugeot 308 drivers know about UK potholes?

UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.

Are budget tyres OK on a Peugeot 308?

On lower-power, lighter cars like the Peugeot 308, mid-range tyres often deliver the best value — premium isn't always justified. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options; check the EU tyre label before fitting.

What does the chassis code P51 mean for tyre choice?

The P51 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Peugeot 308. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
