Best Tires for the Peugeot 406

I had those tires a few years ago, they were great in all winter conditions, great tires. They did not wear out much, were comfortable and did not increase fuel consumption.

I drove the tires for 6 summer seasons. I drove them for more than 45000km. They were still not weared down, but they started to crack on the sides because of the rubber that started to harden because of the sun i guess. I would definetely buy them again.

This is the best tire I ve ever used. Especially on wet tracks I couldnt have been able to slide this tire.
What I do is deliberately push throttle on bends and corners on wet surface but they stick on road with a decent feeling of security. This is my tire from now on. 10 out of 10

I've had these tires on a Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0i V6. Excelent tires in dry, very good on a wet road. Going to buy P7 Cinturato again, 100%!

When I first put these on front of the car I was really pleased. Handled well, stopped well in wet and dry, quite. Great, but then I don't push the car and do a fair amount of motorway driving. 17,000miles later and the tires are down to 2-3mm and performance has tailed off in last 1,500 miles. Very disappointed with the rate of wear.

I have mostly used Continental tires in the past however, being a little financially challenged in recent years and after some research on this site I decided to take the plunge and try some Budget brand tires. First & foremost "You get what you pay for and most of the Tires the general public buy are summer Tires".
I purchased 4 Nankang Tires online and had them fitted locally ((Total cost March 2011 £210 for all 4) absolute bargain compared to the prices I was used to paying. The first thing you notice with these Tires is the increase in road noise compared to previous tires but you soon get used to this then the handling which, I had braced myself for knowing they were going to be poor compared to Conti's again you get used to how far you can push the car in dry and wet conditions and, in my opinion they are not the best Tire in the world but if you keep this in mind and adjust your driving accordingly they are fine, it made me a safer / slower driver. Traction / grip in dry is acceptable, in the wet they are a little deficient (watch it on roundabouts, the word Drift comes to mind). These Tires saw me through two and half years as I have just had the fronts replaced after 20600 miles with Avon ZV5, two Winters and in the snow they are also deficient (remember they are Summer Tires), the Rears still have quite a bit of life in them. Went out after new Avons fitted to the Front and it's at this point I realised just how poor the old tires were but, in all fairness the old Nankangs were worn out. Summary:- Nankang tires represent excellent value for money and mileage and, you must keep in mind they are a Budget brand Summer Tire so they are not going to perform like one of the leading brands, would I recommend or buy again? Yes if price is the main factor.

I have only driven about 200m with one of these tires fitted and cannot really notice any difference from the previous Avon tire.

I bought one in 195/65R15 very cheaply and having them fitted separately.

Later I bought another two except that I later noticed they were slightly different as an N Blue ECO

The reviews for the NBlue are far better!

But another aspect which has not been promoted here much is that the CP641 are sided! They can only be used after fitting on ONE side of the car.

The NBlue are sided and can be used on either side.

I paid the same price for both types! £31 including separate fitting!

great tire, good grip on wet and dry. Rapid wear on the sides, the front tires have 10000km, tires rear them are OK.

the worst tire I had, no traction on dry and wet, and really bad braking. I do not recommend it!

Complete lack of dry grip. Average at best in wet conditions. Quite alright in snow.
Worst of all though, the very very poor brake performance make them totally dangerous!!!
