Find Tyres for 1995-1999 Peugeot 406

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Are tyres for the 1995-era Peugeot 406 still available?

  Yes — common sizes for the 1995-1999 Peugeot 406 remain in production from major UK brands. Some classic-specific sizes may need a specialist supplier, especially for limited or sport variants.

• The 406 uses small wheels — does that affect tyre choice?

  Smaller-rim cars (14" and below) usually have plenty of sidewall, which gives a softer ride and lower replacement cost. Mid-range tyres are often the best value here unless you do high-mileage motorway driving.

• 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 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.

• How long should tyres last on the 1995-1999 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.
