Peugeot 5008 for 4 Falkens
Falken tyres are becoming a very popular choice here at Pellon Tyres, and this week’s Peugeot job shows exactly why. More and more customers are coming in asking for Falkens by name, often on the recommendation of a friend – which is always a good sign in our book.
Free tyre check does its job again: Peugeot 5008 for 4 Falkens
The latest car through the doors was a tidy Peugeot 5008, booked in for one of our free tyre checks. The owner had a feeling the tyres were nearing the end of their life, and once we had a proper look, his instincts were spot on.
All four tyres were worn down and ready for replacement. The spare tyre, however, was still in good condition, so that was left alone – no sense changing something that doesn’t need it.
After a chat about options, the customer went for Falken tyres, specifically 225/55 R18 98V ZE 320. He’d been recommended them by a friend, and it’s a recommendation we hear more and more often these days.
The tyres were fitted, balanced, and then finished off with a wheel alignment to make sure everything would wear evenly. The Peugeot drove out feeling tighter, quieter, and far more planted – and the owner left very happy indeed.

A bit of Peugeot 5008 history in the UK: Peugeot 5008 for 4 Falkens
A bit of Peugeot 5008 history in the UK
The Peugeot 5008 has been a familiar sight on UK roads since it was first launched in 2009. Originally introduced as a practical people carrier, the 5008 later evolved into the larger, family-focused SUV that we recognise today. That change proved very popular with British drivers, especially families wanting space, comfort, and a higher driving position without stepping up to something overly bulky.
In its modern SUV form, the 5008 has become well suited to everyday life in places like Halifax and Calderdale. With room for passengers, shopping, or the odd trip away, it’s a car that often carries heavier loads than smaller SUVs. That extra weight means tyres, brakes, and suspension work that bit harder – particularly on our hilly roads, tight bends, and rough surfaces. It’s one of the reasons choosing good-quality tyres and keeping the alignment right really matters on a vehicle like this. d for good reason – they’re comfortable, practical, and cope well with everything from town traffic to winding country roads.
Why tyres work hard around Halifax and Calderdale
Our local roads are not gentle on tyres. Anyone who drives regularly around Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, Elland, or out into the valleys will know exactly what we mean.
Tyres take a hammering from:
- steep hills
- constant braking and pulling away
- narrow, twisting roads
- uneven surfaces and potholes
SUV-style cars like the Peugeot 5008 often run on larger wheels and lower-profile tyres, which look great but don’t always forgive rough roads. That’s why tyre choice really matters round here.

Why Falken tyres are proving so popular: Peugeot 5008 for 4 Falkens
Falken might not shout the loudest, but they’re very much a top-quality tyre brand. Originally developed with strong links to motorsport, Falken tyres are known for delivering:
- excellent wet and dry grip
- predictable handling
- low road noise
- good tread life
- and very good value for money
The ZE 320 in particular is well suited to UK conditions. It copes well with wet roads (something we see plenty of in Yorkshire), gives a comfortable ride, and offers reassuring grip when the weather turns.
For a car like the Peugeot 2008, Falken tyres strike a great balance – premium-level performance without the premium-level price tag.

Why wheel alignment matters just as much
Once new tyres are fitted, wheel alignment is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your investment. Even slight misalignment can cause:
- uneven tyre wear
- pulling to one side
- heavier steering
- reduced tyre life
With the state of some Calderdale roads, it doesn’t take much to knock alignment out – a pothole, a kerb, or even repeated rough surfaces can do it.
By aligning the wheels after fitting the Falkens, we made sure this Peugeot 5008 will get the maximum life and performance out of its new tyres.

Final thoughts from Pellon Tyres: Peugeot 5008 for 4 Falkens
This Peugeot 5008 is a perfect example of how a simple free tyre check can prevent bigger problems later on. Four new Falken tyres and a proper wheel alignment have transformed the car and set it up nicely for many miles of safe driving.
It’s also another reminder that good tyres really do make a difference – especially around Halifax and Calderdale, where roads demand a bit more from both car and driver.
If you’re unsure about your tyres, or you’ve been recommended a particular brand and want an honest opinion, just pop in. We’re always happy to check things over and give straight-talking advice.
