Citroen BX Tyre Reviews

Tyres are the only part of a Citroen BX that touches the road, and they have more influence on braking, wet grip, noise and ride comfort than almost any other component you can change. This page collects owner reviews and buying advice for Citroen BX tyres in Australia.

What to look for in Citroen BX tyres

Mid-size cars are the segment where touring tyres do their best work: quiet, long-wearing and strong in the wet. Wet braking distance and tread life are the two specifications that separate good tyres from cheap ones, and both are well covered in owner reviews once a tyre has been on the road for a while.

Check the placard for the load index and speed rating your vehicle was built around. Where a car offers multiple wheel sizes across the range, the placard is the authoritative source for your specific variant — not the size fitted to the car when you bought it second-hand, which may have been changed.

Citroen BX tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the BX vary by model year, variant and wheel option, so the vehicle placard is the specification that matters. It sets out the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the correct pressures. You can fit a higher load index or speed rating than the placard calls for, but going below either changes the safety margin the vehicle was engineered with. Because the BX is no longer sold new, availability in the original size is worth checking early — some older sizes are now made by fewer manufacturers, and the remaining stock can be several years old. Check the four-digit DOT date code on the sidewall so you know how long a tyre has been sitting before it goes on your car.
