My name is Xiao Wang. I've been driving a Peugeot 3008 for less than a year. The car originally came with 17-inch tires, with the standard size being approximately 215/65 R17. I noticed that the noise was a bit loud at low speeds. Later, I consulted a technician at the 4S shop, who recommended switching to Michelin Primacy SUV tires. Now, it's much more comfortable, and the noise has significantly reduced. For new car buyers, always check the tire specifications on the owner's manual first—never randomly switch to small workshop brands. Mismatched sizes can easily lead to fishtailing or increased fuel consumption. I personally check the tire pressure every two weeks, maintaining it between 2.3 to 2.5 bar for more stability on highways. Also, during hot summers, inflate the tires a bit in advance to avoid blowouts. Driving habits are crucial too—avoid sudden braking to extend tire life by 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. In short, choose big brands with safety as the top priority.
