Peugeot 307 2.0

The wheels are stock ones so tyre sizes.

205/50/R17

I was intending on getting all 4 wheels fully refurbished and replacing the front 2 tyres with 2 I have in the garage Bridgestone Re040`s as the ones that came with the car are cheapo Nangkangs. With about 1000/2000 miles left in them.


Currently the rear axle is on mixed tyres :rolleyes: that was down to the last owner. 1 pretty new damaged Perrili Pzero (Pictured) and an Avon with a lot of tread on it.

I will have this tyre replaced.

I'd put the Re040s on the front axel. The Nangkangs on the rear.

Replace the Nangkangs with something better once they wear out, but they will last a fair while on the back.

Put the P Zero in the bin, and keep the Avon as a spare.


This sounds like a plan.

That will keep me busy.

Is it safe to have lowergrade tyres on the rear?

Tyre has been replaced , they wanted me to replace my front tyres so i replaced 1 and the faulty rear tyre.

Currently shopping online for another tyre to replace the other front.

They want £130 for an REO40 , currently finding them online for £83.60 (£4.50 balance + £4.50 fitting) £92.60 in total.

I have tried etyres,blackcircles,mytyres

Are there any other decent online tyre sales companies?
