Peugeot 301 Tire Sizes and Rim Specifications by Year and Trim
The Peugeot 301 features varying tire sizes and rim dimensions depending on the model year and trim level. Common tire sizes include 185/65 R15 and 195/55 R16, with rim widths typically ranging from 6 to 6.5 inches.\n\nEarlier model years generally came equipped with 15-inch rims, while later trims often upgraded to 16-inch wheels for improved aesthetics and performance. Tire size markings such as 185/65 R15 indicate the tire’s width, aspect ratio, and diameter, which should match the rim specifications for optimal safety and handling.\n\nComparing trims involves checking both tire size and rim width × diameter combinations to ensure compatibility. For instance, the Access trim might use 185/65 R15 tires on 6-inch rims, whereas higher trims like Active or Allure may have 195/55 R16 tires on 6.5-inch rims. Always consult manufacturer guidelines or trusted catalog references when selecting tires or rims for your Peugeot 301.
