Find Tyres for 2005-2011 Peugeot 407

Frequently asked questions

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

• What's different about the 2005-2011 407 compared with other generations?

  This is the 2005-2011 generation of the Peugeot 407. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Peugeot 407?

  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 407 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.

• Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2005-2011 Peugeot 407?

  Most 2005-2011 Peugeot 407 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.

• Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Peugeot 407?

  Some trims of the 407 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Peugeot usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.
