swagger Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Hi all, got a dilemma..i bought my 2009 zetec galaxy from ford direct, it had a tyre and alloy upgrade from 16 inch to 17 inch, is it correct that the zetec comes new with 16 inch xl tyres and not the runflats, my upgrade has the runflats and at Quote
b318isp Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 16" are normal on the Zetec. Are you sure the 17" are runflats? Is it on the tyre and do you have a tyre pressure monitor? Quote

swagger Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Posted April 20, 2011 [i went to national tyres and put on BARUM BRAVAURIS XL 17inch 225x50x17xl (tyreshopper sell them cheaper and national put them on, but i needed them in a hurry)they got a good review, since i got them on i have increased the front pressure to 38 and the back to 35psi the mpg has gone up from 43-44 mpg to 48-49 mpg and ride is better. if you go on the national tyre website there is a 50% voucher for tyre tracking which costs Quote
