Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are budget tyres OK on a Peugeot 406?
On lower-power, lighter cars like the Peugeot 406, 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.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 1997-2004 Peugeot 406?
Most 1997-2004 Peugeot 406 cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What wet grip should I look for on the Peugeot 406?
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.
What should Peugeot 406 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.
How long should tyres last on the 1997-2004 Peugeot 406?
Typical UK tread life on the Peugeot 406 is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.
