Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Hankook Ventus Prime 4 205-55-16 Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 35,000 miles October 10, 2026

The tyres have good handling in wet and dry. Even after 4 years the tyres have relatively good grip. After about 35000 it spins when you accelerate hard and it is time to change them. Would recommend them but I will choose something newer

Hankook Winter i cept RS2 205-55-16-H Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi January 11, 2021
Excellent tyres, have used hankook tyres for several years now and can't fault them, I used to swear by Goodyear tyres but not any more. Superb grip in the snow/slush, wet and dry roads. totally transformed the car in the colder months. I reckon for the price you can't beat these.

Absolutely brilliant tyre! Have them on a Peugeot 308 hdi & over 34000 miles on them so have ordered another set to be fitted! The only thing is when new they sound a bit grippy ?

Dunlop Winter Sport 5 205-55-16- Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 600 miles March 2, 2018
Bought for Peugeot 308 and these was put to the test Feb-March 2018 in Buxton where we had loads of snow with roads shut, these tyres performed brilliantly in the snow /ice, drove up steep hills with at least 6” of snow and even pulled the car through 12” of snow, The car was actually bottoming out in the snow and still the tyres did the job. Excellent snow tyres worth the price however I comment on the wear of the tyre because I only bought them in November 2017. Although these are excellent winter tyres I'm an experienced driver in snow whic helps too so don't just rely on tyres.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 225-45-17-W Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 16,000 miles December 5, 2016
Excelent performance both on dry and wet, and quiet on the road. But they lasted only 26.000kms/16.000mls, with normal driving in city and motorways without high speeds. They maintain the good performance till the end, even with it's high wear they have good traction and decent wet behavior.

Continental Sport Contact 3 225-45-17-W Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 15,000 miles October 17, 2016
I had these tyres mounted on the front of my Peugeot 308 HDI. This car is driven hard most of the time.

The positives are:

-Insane dry grip during high speed cornering even on a car that has 0 sportiness to it and huge bodyroll, even with low thread left;

-Good grip on wet conditions when the tyres are new;

-Cosmetically, the tyre looks good;

The negatives:

-If you want a tyre that will last you then look away from these or any other Sporty tyre. Seriously I've had two pairs on the front, and both pairs lasted 10k to 15k Kilometers at best before they started going out on the inside. That means you'll have like 1 or 2mm left on the thread but the inside will already be unsafe to drive, with metal exposed;

-Grip degrades a lot on wet conditions on low wear compared to other tyres however;

-They are a bit pricey here in Portugal compared to other options, however the SportContact 5 which replaced these tyres have had their price lowered by a substantial ammount which makes them a good buy at around 80 to 90€ however, keep in mind the wear factor.

Hankook Ventus Prime2 225-50-17-W Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 12,000 miles June 17, 2016
I've done 12K miles at the front end of Peugeot 3008 and still going strong! Great in dry and wet. Tyre wear is great I've done about 12K on heavy front Peugeot 3008 and still has a lot of meat. I've had Michelin Primacy 3 and Bridgestone turanza and the Hankook is the best tyre for the job!

Apollo Aspire 4G 225-45-17- Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 6,000 miles December 24, 2015
Was talked into these by my garage, never again. It's not that they're terrible but over priced for what they are.

I aquaplaned on them once. It was in a corner going down hill in the rain, certainly not at a dangerous speed and the tyres lust lost it.

Had Dunlops before that and they were great. Now have Nokian winters which are amazing!
