[stuartcooper90]

I have a ford focus Zetec S 2016 and am looking at replacing my tyres.

 

Does anyone know if i can replace 215/55/17 with 215/45/17?? 

 

Thanks Stu

Not really, no.  They'll physically fit, but they'll put the speedo out, ride firmer and look a bit daft.

Are you sure the car has tyre size 215-55-17 ?

Tyre size 215-55-17 is not prescribed by Ford for the Focus MK3/MK3.5. The correct prescribed tyre size for 17 Inch wheels is 215-50-17.

As an alternative tyre size 225-45-17 can be used on the Focus MK3/MK3.5. However alternative tyre sizes are not listed in the European type approval of the Focus MK3/MK3.5. Whether alternative tyre sizes are allowed or not may be different between European countries. Before installing an alternative tyre size it is very important to check whether alternative tyre sizes are allowed or not in your country. If alternative tyre sizes are not allowed in your country you should stick to the prescribed tyre size.

Thanks I am almost certain they are that size I will look and double check.
