My Citroën C3-XR has been running for over three years, and I clearly remember the standard tire size is 205/60 R16, which is equipped on most base and mid-range models. When driving on urban roads, tires of this size provide good stability, excellent grip, and minimal bumpiness. The salesperson reminded me when I bought the car that some high-end versions might use slightly larger tires, like 215 in width, but 95% of the time it's 205/60 R16. I recommend you regularly check tire wear; if the tread depth is worn down to just 1.6mm, it's time to replace them, otherwise, they may slip easily in rainy conditions. When replacing tires yourself, don’t go for cheap off-brand options—choose mid-range brands like Bridgestone or Kumho, which are fuel-efficient and durable. Remember to stick to the original tire size when replacing, as altering the size could interfere with the car's ABS system.
