    This is a UK based forum. The Ford Classic (2011/2015) has never been sold in the UK or the rest of Europe. From what I can find it is not even related to the European Fiesta from that era. Do not expect to get much response.


    Anyhow, tyre sizes are configured as follows:

    175 = Thread width = 175 mm
    65 = tyre height = 65% of the thread width
    R14 = diameter of the wheel = 14 Inch

    This means that a 185/65 R14 tyre is not only 10 mm wider but also 13 mm larger in diameter compared to a 175/65 R14 tyre. This results in a 2.2% larger diameter. On most vehicles this is not a problem but as already mentioned the Ford Classic is totally unknown to us so we cannot say for sure whether this size will or will not fit.

    Designed and built for the Indian market, I think?

    I made a similar comment about my friends new Range Rover when JLR were acquired by Tata - it didn't go down well!😀
