Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Does the EU tyre label help when choosing tyres for a Peugeot 406?
Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the Peugeot 406, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.
Can I mix tyre brands on a Peugeot 406?
It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Peugeot 406. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.
Why does the Peugeot 406 have different tyre sizes by year?
The Peugeot 406 has had 6 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.
How often should I rotate tyres on a Peugeot 406?
Most tyre makers and Peugeot workshops recommend rotating front and rear every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Front-wheel-drive cars typically wear front tyres faster; rotation extends overall tyre life.
Is wheel alignment important after fitting new 406 tyres?
Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Peugeot 406 preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.
