Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Peugeot 406?
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's different about the 1996-2004 406 compared with other generations?
This is the 1996-2004 generation of the Peugeot 406. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
Are tyres for the 1996-era Peugeot 406 still available?
Yes — common sizes for the 1996-2004 Peugeot 406 remain in production from major UK brands. Some classic-specific sizes may need a specialist supplier, especially for limited or sport variants.
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 all-season tyres suitable for the Peugeot 406?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Peugeot 406 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
