Best Tyres for the Peugeot 508 rxh estate

very strong on dry, do matter if was cold or warm. also suprised on snow, going much further than all season Vredestein Quadrac Pro, or winter Yokohama Wdrive v902a. Very quiet and pretty comfortable, although it were XL tires. I've done on them over 50000 km, and on the drive axle they just started to show some wear, on rear axle they looked like new. big minus: they were bad on wet. Aquaplanning never suprised me, but braking, strong accelerating - much worse than dry/snow performance

They were mounted on the car when I bought it (about 2000 km on them according to the owner). I used them from November to April. For the first 3 seasons they worked well especially in deeper or fresh snow and slush (I live in a mountain village where plows arrive less often). On ice at sub-zero temperatures or slippery snow they are also okay for a non-studded tire. On wet roads they behave a bit worse than the average summer tire, especially when the temperature exceeds +5 degrees Celsius. Stronger braking on dry asphalt or high temperatures causes an unexpected, premature loss of traction, and on sharp bends I have the impression that the car is "floating". The tire is soft and focused on comfort so it does not give any sporty experience, the steering is just only correct - not very precise. In the 5th season the winter properties deteriorated even though the tread did not wear out much (I have a comparison because my dad put new ones on in the fall and he is delighted - compared to mine, his car braked, accelerated and turned much better in winter). If the rubber compound had not lost its winter properties, I could have driven 35-40 thousand km on them.

These seem to be hard and heavy, you feel every bump but the traction and handling are good. The grip is good, they don't let you down on corners, not even when they're almost illegal, which is impressive, on dry weather... on wet, they slip a bit, at the end of life, but this is normal, nothing dangerous though, really good overall tire, except the comfort part. For a heavy sports car that you drive on flat tarmac, the loss of comfort won't be an issue, I suppose, but if you wanna drive a sedan and have some comfort, they are too rough, especially on average roads with patches and occasional potholes. They are not noisy tires, you can enjoy your music and hear the wind, still so in the noise department they are OK. They seem to be tuned for sports cars, rather than sedans and comfort, that's all about it, a very good and safe overall tire, excepting that. The wear is good also, on them, you can drive them 60k+ km, if you drive them civilized... so, probably that's why they feel heavy, they are intended for high mileage and sports feel, rather than comfort.

I recently fitted a set of four Davanti DX640 245/45/18W tyres to my Peugeot 508 RXH. My car is a hybrid with four wheel drive and has 200 Bhp. I have driven around 2000 miles so far mainly on Country roads. My previous tyres were Michelin Primacy 3, which are a premium brand tyre. I got a deal on the Davanti's paying only £308 fully fitted for all four tyres. There is an improvement in road noise and so far no noticeable difference between the premium Michelin and probably described at best as mid range Davanti's. I got 18k miles out of my Michellin's so only time will tell regarding the Davanti's. I did a lot of research prior to buying them. They are made in China and Chinese tyres often get bad press, which I am mindful of. This is an early honest review of a new tyre brand. I hope others find it useful.

looking at the other reviews for the Peugeot 508 RXH the 21000 miles I got from the Coopers was excellent and certainly better than the Dunlops I had on originaly. Very quiet tyres especially when new and never had any issues with grip in either wet or dry. I guess I am a fairly sedate driver, but at 50000 miles a year I have a pretty good idea what I am looking for in a tyre and will certainly by coopers againb

Dont BUY -- less than 10k miles and only 11 months rear tyres 2ml & needing replaced - gone from 5ml to 2ml in last 6 months (6k miles ).. On a family estate.. Fronts just slightly better.

Wife's budget tyres outperform.

Never buying dunlop again

I've had no problem with the performance of these tyres but this is because the rubber is soft which unfortunately means they don't last long. I had these on my peugeot and they went illegal at approx 14,000 miles, and they didn't drive in any tough conditions or at particularly high speed. Considering your'll be paying approx £600 for a full set I'd steer clear unless you don't do much miles and your all about performance.
