What tires does the 3008 use?

[JayceMarie]

The 3008 uses Continental ContiCrossContact tires. Taking the 2019 3008 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4435mm, width 1840mm, height 1652mm, wheelbase 2613mm, minimum ground clearance 178mm, and curb weight 1540kg. The 2019 3008 features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 167PS, maximum torque of 245Nm, and maximum power of 123kW. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

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.

I'm Lao Li, driving a Peugeot 3008 around the city every day for five years. The original 225/55 R18 all-season tires were quite suitable for daily commuting on urban roads, providing a comfortable and safe ride. Later, I switched to Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra, which offers better grip, especially in rainy conditions, giving me more confidence without slipping. I recommend car owners refer to the vehicle manual for the recommended tire size and avoid changing the rim model arbitrarily to prevent dashboard warnings and troubles. Tires should be rotated regularly—swap the front and rear positions every 10,000 kilometers to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan by about six months. While driving, avoid potholes and curbs to prevent cutting the tire edges, which can affect longevity. When choosing tires, mid-range brands offer good value for money—no need to go for overly expensive options.

My name is Da Zhuang, living in the countryside and driving a Peugeot 3008 mostly on muddy roads. The original 215/65 R17 off-road tires perform well on gravel surfaces. I switched to Pirelli Scorpion Verde AT Plus for better durability and puncture resistance, making the chassis feel more stable. The size must remain consistent to avoid excessive vibration at high speeds, which is unsafe. My driving habits include avoiding sudden acceleration to reduce wear and save money.

I'm Aqiang, and I'm all about saving money. I've been driving my Peugeot 3008 for three years. The original tires cost over 2,000 yuan each, which was too expensive and not worth it. Later, I bought Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 tires online for just over 1,000 yuan, which was a great deal. They've lasted over two years with no issues, even on rural roads. But don't go for cheap no-name brands—make sure the size matches: 215/65 R17 or 225/55 R18, as per the manual. When changing tires, spend an extra 20 yuan for wheel balancing—it makes the ride smoother and can even reduce fuel consumption a bit. Plan ahead and buy during seasonal discounts to save a few hundred yuan.

My name is Dawei and I love speeding. I drive a modified Peugeot 3008, pursuing a sense of control. The original tires were too soft and not suitable, so I switched to 18-inch rims with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires. The acceleration is faster, and cornering is more stable, but the tire noise is a bit louder. When driving, pay attention to the grip in rainy weather—the braking distance is shorter, and safety is significantly improved, though fuel consumption is slightly higher. Choose the size according to the vehicle code, and don’t exceed the standard, as it may affect the suspension.
