turnip Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 The mystery deepens! Please see my thread about tyre sizes and see if you can help before I go to collect my new tyres tomorrow. Thanks http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?showtopic=8077 Quote
tim-spam Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 As stated before (somewhere), 195/60R16 and 215/55R16 should have a similar outer diameter. You will also probably find that your rims are suitable for both sizes. Whether the rim is steel or alloy makes no difference - it's the diameter and width that counts. It is important to fit reinforced tyres - these may be marked 'reinforced', 'extraload', 'XL', etc. If you look on www.mytires.com, you will find plenty of 215/55R16's available as reinforced tyres, but no 195/60R16's. However, check the load rating of each tyre, and look at the maximum axle weights quoted in your handbook - this will tell you if you have a problem or not. Quote
