How wheel size changes the cost of Peugeot 208 tyres

The cheapest Peugeot 208 fitment to re-tyre is 185/65 R15 88T (208 I) at about £343 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 205/45 R17 88V XL (208 I) at about £452 — 1.3 times as much.

That is 2 inches of rim, about £55 more per set for each extra inch.

Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £452 to £590.

How often you pay depends on wear as well as price: car tyre cost explains how 73 Auto turns these prices into a yearly figure for a specific car.

Limitations

Factory sizes are from 73 Auto's fitment reference; rows from the editorial compilation are medium confidence and not individually verified against a manufacturer document. A car may have been fitted with other wheels since new: check the size on the tyre itself.
