The size references below are not a fitment approval for your Citroen C1. Confirm the exact year, version, wheels, axle and full service description against manufacturer information. The tyres already fitted can help identify the vehicle, but a previous replacement or wheel change may be incorrect. Resolve any disagreement before buying.

Tyre products to investigate for your C1

Product links go to Tyres.co.uk, a trusted tyre retailer under common ownership with Tyres HQ. Check availability and the exact vehicle specification before ordering.

Citroen C1 Tyre Size: 165/65 R14 or 165/60 R15

The Citroen C1 tyre size is 165/65 R14 or 165/60 R15, depending on the version and wheel fitted. Always confirm against the tyre placard or handbook before ordering. The table below is a starting reference, not an approval for every C1.

These size references are not a verified list of approved fitments for every Citroen C1. Confirm the year, version, wheel option, axle and complete service description using the tyre placard and handbook. New to it? See what a size like 165/65 R14 means.

Recommended pressures

Your Citroen C1's recommended pressures are on the placard in the driver's door shut or fuel flap, and in the handbook. Measure them cold and follow the specified setting when fully loaded or towing. Our guide to correct tyre pressure and where to find your figures cover the detail.

What to watch on a C1

Record any unusual wear, pulling or vibration and have the cause checked before fitting replacements. A new set cannot correct a mechanical fault. See investigating uneven tyre wear if you spot it.

Citroen C1 tyres: common questions

Which tyres should I choose for a Citroen C1?

For everyday road use, compare braking, refinement and complete fitted cost. Consider seasonal capability around the journeys you need to make throughout the year. The named products are examples to investigate, not a verified fitment list for every C1. Check the exact version before ordering.

How do I confirm my Citroen C1 tyre size?

Use the manufacturer information for the exact year, version and wheel option. Read the full size and service description for both axles. The size references on this page and a registration search do not replace that check.

How much should I spend on Citroen C1 tyres?

Compare complete fitted quotes for products meeting the approved specification. Weigh relevant braking, wear and comfort evidence against the price difference. A higher price or a familiar brand does not automatically establish better value.

Should I replace one tyre, a pair or all four?

That depends on the remaining tyres and the vehicle's matching requirements. Ask the fitter to check model, construction, tread differences and any drivetrain restrictions before deciding. Different axle sizes must not be casually interchanged.

Before you book fitting

Have the vehicle year and version, front and rear tyre markings and any wheel changes ready. Ask for the exact product, full fitted cost and an explanation of any extra work. If replacing tyres because of unusual wear or vibration, arrange diagnosis as well as replacement.

Fitment note. Product examples and size references need checking against the exact vehicle. This page is buying guidance, not a manufacturer fitment approval. If the current tyres and vehicle documentation disagree, ask a qualified fitter to resolve the difference.
