In Citroën workshops, take advantage of expert advice to choose the right tyres for your car and your driving habits. As you know, choosing the right tyres gives you better grip and flawless road holding, efficient braking and fuel economy. Take advantage of the best offers with Citroën.
The manufacturer's recommended pressure for your vehicle is shown inside the opening of the driver's door and must be checked every month, and especially before long journeys. Tyres showing dents, cracks, cuts, foreign bodies or irregular wear must be checked by your authorised Citroën repairer. After 5 years, regardless of the mileage and the groove depth, get your tyres and the spare checked.
BRAKING AND AQUAPLANING
Don't neglect your safety; make sure to check your tyre pressure regularly. Tests show that braking from 56 mph to 43 mph requires 40 metres at 2 bars or 45 meters at 1 bar, i.e. an extra 5 metres. In addition, tyre pressure below 30% of the recommended pressure greatly increases the risk of aquaplaning.
OPTIMISE YOUR CONSUMPTION
A tyre under-inflated by 1 bar leads to an increase in rolling resistance and consequently around a 6% increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. A tyre under-inflated by 20% leads to a 20% reduction in mileage performance. Over 24,855 miles, that's 4,971 miles lost. For an average consumption of 8 L/62 miles, consumption therefore increases by 0.5 L/62 miles, or one more tank of fuel per year.

'- To be fitted with a spare wheel, your car needs to be predisposed to allow the wheel to be positioned optimally. On New Citroën C3, the pre-set spare wheel is an option. When you buy this vehicle, you must select it in order to be able to fit the wheel. If not, your puncture-proof kit is always there to help you.
- You can also count on Citroën Assistance to help you out. Our maintenance and extended warranty contracts cover roadside assistance in the event of a puncture.
- Electric and hybrid vehicles cannot be fitted with a spare wheel because of the size of the battery. The anti-puncture kit and Citroën Assistance* are still alternative solutions.
WHY BETTER USING AN EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL THAN A REGULAR WHEEL?
Thiner than a standard wheel, the emergency spare wheel maintains the load capacity of your boot.
Lighter, it also helps to reduce CO2 emissions. It's also easier to handle when fitting.
On the other hand, when you drive with a wheel, you must limit your drive to a maximum speed of 80 km/h and cover a maximum distance of 80 km.
THE CITROËN TYRE OFFER AND ITS ADDITIONAL SERVICES
The tyres offered by the Citroën network can meet any challenge. You will find everything you need in our garages for your safety: summer tyres, winter tyres and multi-brand tyres of all sizes adapted to the age of your car. As the performance of your tyres decreases below 7°C, consider fitting your car with winter tyres: on snowy ground at 31 mph, you will gain more than 30 metres when braking! Finally, if you do not know where to store them, certain garages in the Citroën network can store them for you and exchange them at the right time.
