What's the tyre profile on the standard rims?

[plymlad19]

16"x6.5" 12spoke fitted with 195/45 tyres. I think.

Standard wheels.

Hmm, just they were supposed to have larger profile tyres and they used to be 45's, just I've not found anyone who can say for sure what profile they are >.< lol

All the Titanium's have 50 profile, not found out about Zetec S 16's >.<

[Stewie316]

So ford have actually changed the profile from the old titanium 195/45/16's to 195/50/16's. interesting.

Yep, every Titanium has 50 profile's, but Zetec S's seem to have 45's, just haven't been able to confirm.

[Sliveredge]

The Ford Brochure shows that they are all 45's other than the zetec that is 50's

[b1g_dav3]

The brochure is wrong trust me, seen so many Titanium's now with 50 profile's it's untrue, the Zetec's run on 55 profiles if I remember correctly. Even my dealership has admitted the brochures are wrong so it's not just me

When I picked up my Focus they had the new Fiesta's in and they definetly have higher profile tyres now.

The dealer even shadily agreed with me, they knew there had been problems with the pre-facelift alloys and the reason for the change.

[b1g_dav3]

Oh yeah, every person I've spoken to at the dealers agrees with me. Lol.

They've also changed the make-up of the wheel apparently.

[alexp999]

If you go on the car configurator, and pick say a Zetec, when you get to the options it says:

Alloy - 16"x6.5", 7-Spoke, 195/50 tyres

[b1g_dav3]

Yeah, it's the same in reality with the Titanium too, I've checked 9 cars myself, just not had a Zetec S to check lol.

Not sure but I guess if you emailed the pic to your computer it would be much easier.

Hi first post on here by the way but watching this topic with interest.

Looking to change the wifes car for a 1.0 (125) Titanium X shortly. She currently has a 2010 1.6 TDCi Titanium. I use it mainly at weekends too but find it a little unrefined and noisy at motorway speeds. It seems to average 48mpg in winter and about 55 ish in summer so I'm watching with interest what you guys achieve once theyv'e loosened up a bit and also how you find the refinement. I'm hoping someone has moved from a diesel too!

Also anyone used the internet broker 'Drive the Deal'? I have a friend who used them 2 years back and had no issues at all. After a little googling they seem to be have a good reputation.

I've priced a 5 door 1.0 (125) Titanium X with £1500's of options and the price seems too good to be true!! I haven't yet been into Ford's to see what they can do though.
