Peugeot 208 XY 1.6 HDI Tyre Review Highlights

I fit the PS4 in my Peugeot 208 ehdi, and the previous tyre set is PS3. PS4 is actually better than PS3, however about the wear level, the improved strength is not enough. One PS4 set can let me drive at 28500 km. The noisy of PS4 will be louder after half tyre life. Therefore, I don't want to buy this again.

Standard tyre with the car (Peugeot 208 1.6 HDI) and can't complain. They were not too loud, good fuel economy and hard wearing. Roughly 20-25000 miles on a set though I was changing with winter tyres for half the year so hard to estimate. I've used these tyres in cold temperatures and they seem to grip like normal though in the wet (incl. summer) you do feel a slight difference in grip, not much though. Good tyre all round.

I fitted these to my 208 XY a couple of years back (now sold due to needing a larger car), they had a lovely trip out to the Highlands of Scotland in late December to early January so were put to the test on snow/ice and wet roads.
There were 3 cars, 2 were 4x4 and my fwd, it performed amicably in comparison to the 4x4's, grip was fantastic on bad surfaces with snow and ice patches, even hit an ice patch on a corner and only needed a slight correction of the steering to regain composure.

In snow they also performed excellently, standing water on motorways is not a problem, absolutely no aquaplaning.

The down side to winter tyres is the tread blocks, it takes some of the feedback off you and can make the car feel a little less responsive in corners, but the benefits of a winter tyre seriously out weigh that of a summer tyre in winter.

These will perform better below 10 degrees Centigrade, after that you will have longer braking distances due to the heat in the tyres and a little more squirming under hard braking.
