Winter Wheels

OK, so I get my 2015 Mondeo Estate tomorrow. I have a set of older Mondeo Alloys, with 205/55R16 winter tyres on them.

These were used on my Focus, last year. The question is do I sell them and get a new set or will they be fine on the Mondeo?

I don't have any concerns with the wheels, they should be fine. It's the tyres. My car will Have 235/50R17.

Would anyone worry about going to a smaller 205/55R16 when it should probably be 205/60R16?

If I keep them I'll probably dial in and change the tyre size in Elmconfig, which should sort the Speedo out.

    Thanks. I get my OBDII tomorrow and will check what wheel\tyre options I can set it to.

    Your summers are a little lower profile than mine, not sure if the whole wheel ratio changed from MK4 to 5.

    Just over 5% of a difference using your link with the smaller wheels. I'll probably be ok, just a little paranoid :)
