2 Answers
Peugeot 3008 tire model is 225/50R17. The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The middle letter or symbol has special meanings: "X" denotes high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" denote radial tires; "-" denotes low-pressure tires. The Peugeot 3008 has a top speed of 205km/h and a fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also marks the following common data: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
I remember when I bought my Peugeot 3008, I specifically asked the dealer about the original tire model because it affects driving comfort and fuel consumption. The standard configuration usually uses 205/55 R16 tires, commonly from the Michelin brand, but higher-end versions like the GT Line may come with 215/55 R17 sizes for better handling. The markings on the tire sidewall clearly indicate the model, or you can check the sticker near the door. Using non-original sizes might affect ABS system performance, posing safety risks. I regularly check tire pressure and wear to maintain stability with the original size. When replacing tires, it's best to choose the same model brand and avoid mixing tires with different aspect ratios to extend their lifespan.
