Find Tyres for Peugeot 408

Frequently asked questions

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

• Where do I find the load index for Peugeot 408 tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Peugeot 408.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new 408 tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Peugeot 408 preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.

• Are budget tyres OK for the Peugeot 408?

  Smaller cars like the Peugeot 408 often work well on mid-range tyres. The cheapest unbranded options can compromise wet braking — use the EU tyre label to compare wet grip and noise before fitting.

• How often should I rotate tyres on a Peugeot 408?

  Most tyre makers and Peugeot workshops recommend rotating front and rear every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Front-wheel-drive cars typically wear front tyres faster; rotation extends overall tyre life.

• What pressure should the Peugeot 408 run?

  The correct pressure for your Peugeot 408 is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
