Where should I check the original tyre size for my Peugeot 308?

Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.

What should Peugeot 308 drivers know about UK potholes?

How long should tyres last on the 2007-2014 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.
