shaunytee1600 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Goodyear efficient grip on mine. I've thought about this like you are.from kwik fit. I think 205/50/16 will make speedo spot on and not 3mph fast like the 55 profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've got conti premium contacts on my car at the moment, I'm certain it's a 2 but you've now got me wondering - I'll check later I can't fault the tyres at all, they stick like glue to the road, feels like the car is on rails sometimes, unbelievable grip If I were to ever change them it'd be Goodyear efficient grip, as from reviews I've heard nothing but good things from them Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 205/50/16 will make speedo spot on and not 3mph fast like the 55 profile. so the previous owner has put the wrong size tyres on mine then ? I have 205/55/16's ... What are the tyres like all year round mate? you have a focus too? Thanks I've got conti premium contacts on my car at the moment, I'm certain it's a 2 but you've now got me wondering - I'll check later I can't fault the tyres at all, they stick like glue to the road, feels like the car is on rails sometimes, unbelievable grip If I were to ever change them it'd be Goodyear efficient grip, as from reviews I've heard nothing but good things from them Sent from my iPad using Ford OC interesting, are they good in the winter months as well ?
