CarlosManta Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 My Ford Fusion came with "special" R16 wheels. The dealer told me though this "+ version" came with the special wheels, the measure of the tyre are relatively easy to find. How dumb I feel to have bought into this. Needing two new tyres, I visited a tyre dealer who told me only two cars use this tyre size, the: 195/55 R16 This makes choosing relatively easy, as few tyre brands actually offer this size. :D What I am asking you, in case your wheels are of this size as well, is whether you have any advice to share, choices you have made, or have regretted...

skyman114 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 My Plus is on this wheel tyre combination and is currently running CORSA tyres.... They were new ish when i got the car and have done about 12K.. They are going to need replacement soon maybe 15k looking at the way things are going. As for replacements that will be purely a cost issue... Cheapest wins. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosManta Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 My fronts are now due to be replaced, when i return from holiday So what did you end up getting? Did you purchase from a national chain... Kwik fit etc? Are you happy with them ? ContiPremiumContact 2 from a local Dealer. So far very happy with them, they actually make a bit less noise than those I had before (run-flat from Dunlop, the ones I got are not run-flat). Most reviews I found favoured Bridgestone and Continental, but the latter are supposed to last longer. They were about the same price. If you are changing the fronts, the new tyres should go in the back. The reasoning is that you have more weight in front (also traction), so the best tyres should be in the back.

Esfisifu Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I can recommend the Kleber 'Quadraxer' tyres we had to the fronts over a year ago, done 12k and look hardly worn. They are a '4-season' tyre (as opposed to a full-on 'winter' tyre), and were better than the old ones in the snow last winter. Can't remember cost, but I get them at 'mates rates' from ATS, where our company buy all their lorry tyres from(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
