Best Tyres for the Peugeot 508 SW 1.5 HDI GT LINE

I used it for 4 years and 60,000 km. It's a perfect price-performance tire. I would buy it again without hesitation. I had to change it due to wear at the end of its life and some pieces breaking off, but 60,000 km is not little.

These came already fitted to second hand car so can't comment too much on longevity. Fine in the dry but downright dangerous in wet / cold and break loose very easily. Car is tracking fine and tyres around 70% tread left so should be still okay. I couldn't recommend these purely on safety I have had budget tyres before (Tourador, i-Link) and never felt unsafe driving on them. I think I will be replacing them before they wear out.

These tires came with an used 2012 Peugeot 508 SW GT Line with relatively low mileage on them (I think less than 25000KM). The front tires I put new Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and these HiFly HF805 my tire shop recommended to put on the rear until I am ready to get matching Michelin tires. I drive short distance in the city and about 25-30KM on the highway regularly to commute and these tires are comfortable and handle well on dry roads. They also handle well even in heavy rain as long as I don't try to curve suddenly over 30KM/h. On dry road, my car can do a sharp curve with these tires at 50KM/h without losing control. However, on wet road, at 50KM/h the car started to look rear grip, swaying left and right strongly before I regained control. So I learned not to exceed 35KM/h on wet road when cornering. They did well on long distance driving, even at 150KM/h, without any instability. However, recently my car began to show a warning of low tire pressure on on side. I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low, and I inflated all the tires to the correct level. However, less than a week later, the car showed a warning that the tire on the other side may be punctured or flat. I checked the other tire and it was a bit low but not flat. Fortunately I live close to a trusted tire shop and I took my car there. Initially we suspected it may be due to a nail puncture. However, as you can see in the photo, once he removed a tire, from the inner side, there are two visible crack on the sidewall! After he removed the other tire, it showed even a bigger crack on the inner side. I had been driving for most of my life and the many tires I used never exhibited such symptom. The cracks weakened the structural integrity of these tires and it will be a matter of them before they shred under high speed driving. I was lucky to have caught this in time.

Since my car has 19-inch wheels, good tires don't come cheap. I understand the reason why the previous owner put these on. They are less than 80 euros each, compared to say some mid-level brand like Nexgen which still cost 150 euros each. What I ended up replacing them is Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and they cost 220 euros each! But they can corner with no problem at 50km/h on wet road without causing the car to sway like a fishtail. They are also not going to have cracked sidewalls after 25000KM of driving.

This Touring tyre overall have been a decent budget tyre. Grip levels in dry and wet conditions ranging between 2°c and 36°c have been adequate. High wear in my experience is due to the work I do with lots of tight turnarounds. Tread wear rated at 320, same as the previous premium tyre I had on before them(MPS4). Lasted just as long as them. Three A P606 are set up for comfort so handling and high-speed are very stable and adequate for B roads and motorways. In Standing water they are very stable for this type of tyre.
