Citroen Xantia Tyre Reviews

If you are shopping for Citroen Xantia tyres, this page is the place to start. It pulls together ratings and written reviews from Australian owners, plus practical guidance on sizing, load ratings and what suits a mid-size car.

What to look for in Citroen Xantia 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 Xantia tyre sizes and fitment

The authoritative source for your tyre size is the placard on the vehicle itself — usually inside the driver's door jamb, sometimes in the glovebox or on the fuel filler flap. It lists the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the recommended pressures for both normal and loaded running. Because the Xantia was offered with more than one wheel and tyre combination across its life and variants, the placard on your car is more reliable than a generic size list. Because the Xantia 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.
