Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 1999-2004 Peugeot 406?
Most 1999-2004 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 tyre size does the 1999-2004 Peugeot 406 use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 1999-2004 Peugeot 406 include 195/65 R15, 205/60 R15, 205/55 R16, 215/55 R16. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
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.
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.
