Dongfeng Peugeot 408's 1.6L version uses tire model 215/55/R16, while the 2.0L version uses 215/50/R17. The original tires are from Goodyear. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, founded in 1898 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio, USA, is one of the world's largest tire manufacturers. It introduced pneumatic tires in 1899 and patented tubeless tires in 1903. In 1909, it launched pneumatic tires for aircraft and trucks, followed by the Goodyear "Airship" four years later. For the Dongfeng Peugeot 408's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
