IINexusII Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 why do you have 225 on the rear? if they are the stock tyres they should be 205/55/16 on all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah2014 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 i dunno why there different but i have just replaced one of the rears so can the fronts go the same or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoms Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I would definitely expect all 4 x tyres to be the same size, to my knowledge it's only high end/more powerful cars that have wider tyres on the reason such as porsche or Honda S2000 for example. I could be totally wrong (usually I am , ask the wife ☺) but would of thought you'd be ok with a full set of 225/55/16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoms Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That said double check with someone in the trade etc as I know incorrect tyres are one of the first things insurance companies like to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IINexusII Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 sorry but i think 205/55/16 is the tyre you should order. thats the size for the OEM 16" alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 probably fit ok, but remember it will be a taller tyre so your speedo will be reading incorrectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah2014 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I thought the height was the same just a bit wider Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 nope, 55% of 205 is not the same 55% of 225 its not alot but take that into account when driving through speed cameras, only around 2mph difference, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah2014 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Oh a see so when it comes to needing tyres again I will get the other size Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
