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.

Kumho Ecowing ES31 205-55-16 Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 37,000 miles September 18, 2026

Overall, these tires performed amazingly over the 4 seasons I've driven on them.

Dry performance: Handling and feedback are solid — nothing spectacular, but perfectly adequate. They're impressively quiet, and I noticed a clear difference in fuel consumption compared to my winter set.

Wet performance: This is where it's more nuanced. When new, I had zero complaints in the wet — braking and handling were confidence-inspiring. It was only after roughly the halfway point of their tread life that I started noticing wet braking and handling begin to deteriorate. So while the wet-weather grip degrades over time, it wasn't a problem from day one.

Treadwear: Excellent longevity. With ~55,000 km on them, I'm only now scratching the minimum wear indicator — very long-lasting for the mileage.

Hankook Ventus Prime 4 225-45-17 Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 2,591 miles August 22, 2026

An okay tire in dry and wet conditions, a bit noisy on the road, but a tire I wouldn't recommend if the car is parked on a gravel driveway. You'll go crazy with all the stuff that sticks and comes out onto the street, so never again with such a tire.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 225-45-17 Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 19,000 miles December 20, 2025

An excellent all around tyre very stable in all conditions both city and highways but they lasted only 30000klm . The traction antil the end was very good but the ware of the tyres in the last 5000 km was Very fast .The km was done in Greece in 14 months so i am changing to a touring falken 320 .

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 205-55-16 Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 40,000 miles August 10, 2025

Unfortunately I would recommend these tyres. I say unfortunately because they're expensive. I had the 91 rating, 2 year old tyres and mounted a kerb to park and tore the sidewall. So these are not particularly strong. Having said that I had 40,000 miles out of the last pair. No signs of cracking. Predictable performance from the start to end. I've never had a sporty car but as a 'grandad' driver these were good enough, cornering so-so a bit of lean and understeer. About 10% more fuel economy than my next C rated tyres. With all that said unless there is a promotion I will not buy again purely based on cost.

Nexen N Fera SU1 205-55-16 Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 20,000 miles August 10, 2025

As per other reviewers after 2 years my tires are cracked. Standard estate in the North of England, motorway driving 70mph tops. Had them on the rear axel and they've worn to 3mm after 20000 miles, switched them to the fronts and the noise is awful with 3mm remaining I don't want tires with cracks between the blocks.

Falken ZIEX ZE320 205-55-16- Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 1,000 miles July 20, 2024

Use this set to replace my Goodyear efficient performance 2. the dry grip is impressive when compare to the Goodyear. been under heavy rain a few times and the wet grip is comparable with the Goodyear. However the fuel consumption is significantly worse then Goodyear with a motorway fuel consumption from ~64 mpg to 60mpg

Viking Protech Newgen 205-55-16- Peugeot 308 sw 1.6 hdi 600 miles May 31, 2024

I' ve got 2 of these on front switching from sebring , massive difference in road noise, those sebring were awful but they were an older model made in 2017, the overall grip is better dry and wet, braking is better, but I think the sidewalls are softer because on road feedback I have no idea what my front wheels are doing, greater speed in corners but less feedback, wear I have no idea because I only have 1000 km on them
P.S. I selected spirited because I'm doing granny driving and overspirited driving, town, highway and mountain roads...
