The tires have good handling in wet and dry. Even after 4 years the tires have relatively good grip. After about 35000 it spins when you accelerate hard and it is time to change them. Would recommend them but I will choose something newer

Fitment comes from each tire'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.

What Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
The positives are:
-Insane dry grip during high speed cornering even on a car that has 0 sportiness to it and huge bodyroll, even with low thread left;
-Good grip on wet conditions when the tires are new;
-Cosmetically, the tire looks good;
The negatives:
-If you want a tire that will last you then look away from these or any other Sporty tire. Seriously I've had two pairs on the front, and both pairs lasted 10k to 15k Kilometers at best before they started going out on the inside. That means you'll have like 1 or 2mm left on the thread but the inside will already be unsafe to drive, with metal exposed;
-Grip degrades a lot on wet conditions on low wear compared to other tires however;
-They are a bit pricey here in Portugal compared to other options, however the SportContact 5 which replaced these tires have had their price lowered by a substantial ammount which makes them a good buy at around 80 to 90€ however, keep in mind the wear factor.
I aquaplaned on them once. It was in a corner going down hill in the rain, certainly not at a dangerous speed and the tires lust lost it.
Had Dunlops before that and they were great. Now have Nokian winters which are amazing!
