Best Tyres for the Peugeot E208

Have 4 of theses on a 2022 Peugeot 208 EV, noisy tyre, car isnt quiet as it was with the original Michelin E-primacy but the michelins are fierce money. The tyre pressure monitor came on when driving one day and i stopped and checked all tyres and they were ok , i even ran my had around all tyres to see if there was a screw or a nail in the tyre and nothing so continued driving and after about 10 minutes the car very noisy and handling was bad so i knew i had a puncture and pulled in. I have a compressor in the boot so i tried to pump up the tyre and air was flying out so i got the tyre sealant and it was workig but the tyre was blowing up in lumps so i knew the tyre was all twisted. When i looked at the tyre there was a big piece of rubber that came away from the tyre so i seems to me the tyre was bad and deformed and these tyres are only a little over half worn also from the picture you can see cracks in between the treads. Whe i was looking up tyres i did see a lot of people complained about thes tyres loosing their shape and thats exactly what happened to this tyre. On my experience i wont be buying kumho tyres again . The tyre is gone back to the garage that fitted them so i will wait and see what happens. I now have to buy 2 new tyres even though the kumhos are only half worn.

I’ve had these on my Peugeot E-208 for 4 months and they have been amazing. I drive it quite hard and have covered 10k in this time mostly on windy back roads around the Cotswolds. Although I am now down to no tread on the front, a lot of this can be out to the electric FWD car and heavy right foot. On the whole these tyres have been brilliant, surprisingly amazing dry handling, brilliant grip off the line and they have really helped control any understeer the 1.6 Ton FWD 208 would otherwise have! They’re still good in the wet but you can’t push them quite as hard as you would a PS4 shall we say. All round really impressed and would highly recommend to anyone after a really good budget tyre!

Covered around 15k miles and rotated. Still 5mm tread left on the front of an electric car which is pretty good! Dry grip is fine and enough for anything except very heavy acceleration which will break traction. Wet acceleration is poor with just a gentle nudge in the throttle sometimes completely losing traction!when the cars moving it's pretty safe though. Emergency heavy braking again is not ideal and ABS will kick in sometimes. It's just not predicable. Snow and ice traction is alright too and had no issues over UKs crazy snow in December. It's very comfy and good wearing which is what I am after usually. It's not a bad tyre but a few compromises. I have a 4x4 estate on Michelin crossclimate + which are louder but seem to outperform these, hard to tell due to drivetrain. Also previously had verdestein quatrac which I found were more progressive and predictable if not a bit louder in cabin.
