Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Citroën ë-C3?

Citroën ë-C3 tyres

The Citroën ë-C3 leaves the factory on 205/50 R17 and 205/55 R16 depending on wheel size, and the 205/55 R16 94V XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The Fiat Grande Panda takes the same size.

What changes on this car

A budget car on extra-load tyres: both ë-C3 sizes are XL and V-rated, 94 on the 16 inch and 93 on the 17.

Built on the Smart Car platform, it shares these two sizes with the Fiat Grande Panda. An 18 inch entry appears in Michelin's data but matches the ë-C4 exactly and could not be confirmed for this car, so it is not listed.

No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 205/55 R16. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.
