Citroën ë-C4 tyres
The Citroën ë-C4 leaves the factory on 195/60 R18 and 215/60 R17 and 215/65 R16 depending on wheel size, and the 215/65 R16 98H below is the one most owners are replacing. A standard load 98 rating is modest for an electric car and says something about where this one's kerb weight sits. The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica takes the same size.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
The 18 inch option is narrower than the 16 and 17, a 195 section against 215, and it is the only extra-load fitment. The same tall, narrow 195/60 R18 appears on Renault's Megane and 4.
The ë-C4 X fastback carries exactly the same three sizes. On every rim the sidewall stays above 115 mm, deep by current standards.
Which one to buy
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
If range is what you care about

Every figure here comes from one tyre maker's own fitment data, checked across different years or trims. That is a second look rather than a second opinion, so check the label on your door jamb before you buy.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Citroën ë-C4 take?
- It runs 195/60 R18 and 215/60 R17 and 215/65 R16. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Citroën ë-C4?
- Only at 215/65 R16 98H or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
