Best Tires for the Peugeot 1.4 HDi

I recently bought 4 of these to fit my 208, size 185/65 R15 T. They have a good grip on the dry. I have not tested them much on the wet but so far they feel safe too. They also are quiet in a relaxed/city driving but somewhat noisy when driving at highway speed (above 100KPH). The problem with these tires is their sidewalls, wich are way too soft. That's why they are comfortable (more than my previous Michelin) but the feedback is very poor. Steering is vague and heavier and the car feels unstable when making fast steering/countersteering moves. They don't invite to a sporty driving at all, yes I know it's not their purpose but they should do much better, beeing "premium" tires. And because of those too soft sidewalls, they buldge a lot in the front, like if they are underpressurized, even if I overinflate them! It looks like the sidewalls are almost touching the ground... It's unpleasant to look at and I doubt very much that they are fuel saving because of that... Concerning the wearing, well I don't care at all because I will not have them on my car long enough to know. These Ultracontact are not worth their price tag if you want a sharp and agile driving. I expected much better from such a "premium" brand... Never again Continental.

Excellent tires by Michelin, dry grip and wet are superb! No issues at all. These definitely give you a lot of confidence when you put your foot down and push the car a bit! I love the sidewall, looks awesome! Very comfortable ride too, so when the time comes to change them, I will probably go for new Pilot Sport 5, although the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 will be tempting too, so really looking forward to the Tire Reviews test of both of these in March! Having said that I would be more than happy to buy another set of Pilot Sport 4, because these are superb and the new PS5 and GY F1 A6 will only bring a slight improvement.

This was the tires who were fitted on the car as i bought it. Were pretty good in the dry and wet and i would say good in snow and ice. they wore average as i've got a commited driving style, combined mostly with twisty country roads. They have hold on for 10K miles on front and 20k on rears (kept the rear in hot summer).
Rolling resistance is good for winter tires (5,5l/100km or 42mpg)
Conclusion: good value for the price with stong points for wet handling

had equip (replace Hankook H308) these new Tire to my small car(Proton Iriz) to try on as it is still new for malaysia market, 1st impression is the road noise reduce drastically compare to hankook tire and the handling also improving. Try it for few hundrad miles and may notice that it also capable to handle some small uneven road bounce with confident. Turning Quit accurate but not as good as Bridgestone EP300

Had a set of four these tires put on the car, thinking that as the car didn't get used so much I did't need to have such a high quality tire to use. Couldn't have been so unwise! My steering went immediately pear shaped. Going from a car that was sound as a bell to one that all it wished to do was hit the nearside kerb. Took the motor back to the garage after telling them that the car was "kosher" when it came into them and now was a problem. They changed the left to the right - personally having been in the transport industry for such a long time "knew this wouldn't do. Told them the car was still doing the same problem. One of the partners came out with me and the car did the self same thing of pulling to the left. Garage took the car in changed the tires around checked the tracking which was a minute out so to speak - nothing that would create the problem. They gave me the car back "after testing" and said it was okay - it wasn't. The car after several miles started having the relative problems, and I will changing these tires for probably Pirelli or similar, even it is twice the price I paid for these Futurum tires.

The GT3 came as OEM, so far (a year later) they are the worst tires i´ve tried. On wet asphalt you got to be extra careful
as these tires loose alot of grip, on dry asphalt they´re ok but make alot of noise and not very comfortable on bumpy roads. Another thing why i would never buy these tires again is durability, I had two of them been "fixed" 3 times and replaced 1 of them due to too much damage in one year. Compared to the Hankook kinergy gt h436 the GT3 are below on every aspect so far (only 2 months of use), the hankooks are more comfortable and less noisy on dry or wet roads, the handling feels more precise and the feedback is more snappy. Also the price between the GT3s and gt h436 is almost the same.
Overall I don´t recommend the GT3 tires based on the low reliability and poor performance I´ve experienced.

Never used all season tires before so was very sceptical about a tire for all year? that contradicts everything I was brought up to believe
How surprised was I Radar all seasons fitted to 2016 Peugeot 2lr diesel estate which travels all over registering around 24000 miles a year city and rural dry, wet, and snowy conditions, the tire performed very well indeed, the only time they struggled was on a muddy field but even 4x4s got stuck that day. handling in the dry was excellent and also in the wet very good grip.
Overall I would have to give these tires a solid 8 out of 10 but the are good value for money and a well a engineered product that only let itself down on mud, you cant have a perfect tire no one makes one.
when choosing a tire forget the fuel reading on their labels go for a tire with C grip then you know your getting the correct tire, those who say' A ' for grip well theres a question of how they measure it, like I said nothings that perfect.

Well bought these vector 4 season gen 2, in the snow I carnt fault them I drove 70 miles needing to get home in the recent snow at 10 o'clock at night. Last 20 miles were through the peak District huge inclines declines many bends, huge snow drifts and I made it with a big sigh of relief braking on snow was like normal braking.looking back at what the tires achieved was phenomenal. Dry weather handling not bad the tires feel very floaty though which I'm not keen on and sometimes going round a bend at speed I'm alittle unsure on them wet weather we have had has been great the way the tires dispel water is good. I've not tried any others so I carnt Compare. How long do I think tgey Will last well 18month if that I reckon but I do do maybe 12 to 15 thousand miles a year. Not bad at all I only paid £126 for two tires fitted and balanced.

Excellent winter tires on snow, bit wary on ice/black ice and good all round performance on dry and wet conditions throughout winter. Normal wear on the tire, nothing worth noting and good fuel economy - barely noticed a difference in fuel expense going from summer Bridgestone Ecopia to these in winter. Definitely recommend as in the snow they just grip like it was tarmac.

Great tire especially on a rainy day. Good safety and fast stopping.
