MK1 Focus Zetec Tyre Size?

[t84]

On the standard 15" alloys?

I thought it was 195/55/15 but it says 195/60/15 on the FFOC website?

I don't know :| I had to declare a PH sticker tho them, LOL...

Crap, I think they're definately the wrong size, off to the insurance I go

Probably cheaper to buy 4 new tyres, the insurance will probably ream you.

Not that it'll matter one bit anyway...

eh?

I suspect several different sizes where available depending on spec and model when new.

A slightly different size is not a modification and with in limits, even more so if its the original rims.

My opinion is, you bought the car. If the insurance company believe its of different or wrong spec, they should come out and check the car over BEFORE offering you insurance.

They'd have no legal leg to stand on if you made a claim and the tyre was only slightly different but still within the limits recommended for the rim.

Ok, well it's 195/55/15 compared to 195/60/15

so the only difference is the side wall is 55% of 195mm compared to 60% of 195mm.

Which means 0.77" difference in tyre diameter.

I'll give Ford a ring later and if they say it's within specification that'll be fine

[t84]

Well according to the FFOC earlier Focus's and Ghia's had 60's, the rest had 55's... Should be ok then!

[t84]

Been into Ford, it's officially 195/55/15

[Munter]

Yep both sizes were fitted. My Zetec had 195/55 while my brothers slightly later registered car had 195/60 on it.
