S.Davidson Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I currently have standard 16" alloys on my mondeo with a 55mm profile tyre. Will upgrading to 19" alloys with a 35mm profile tyre affect anything on the car? e.g fuel, speedo. Oh and by the way im new to this website. Thanks very much.......Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Sam No, not really, or not enough for you to notice. The only thing will be a decline in ride comfort, as the bigger wheels and lower profile tyres will not absorb the bumps in the road as much as your standard items.

jeebowhite Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 As long as the entire circumference of the wheel is no different you will be fine, however people can often forget this. The speedo may need to be reprogrammed by Ford if your circumference is different, its normally out by a few mp anyway, but if your out by a few more, it could mean the difference between you doing 30 according to the speedo, and the camera van catching you at 34! It doesnt happen often but I have seen it happen before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
