stevepeanut Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 just bought a set of wheels 13x5.5, need to go to my local tyre place and order some tyres, what size will go best on these size wheels? they are going on the mk5 tina, if that makes any difference in the choice
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 185/60/13 but you will notice a difference from the 15s
stevepeanut Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Posted March 6, 2010 cheers, just bought some slotmags Dave, I want to personalise the car, put my stamp on it, first thing to change is the wheels will it handle better or worse going back to 13s?
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 i thought mine was worse but they came with 13s so it will be ok i just like to corner like im in a mini lol
cortinasgoneforaburton Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 just in process of changing mine back to 13s ive used 205x60x13 but put them next to 195x55x15 and the 13s are only about 1cm smaller but ive concerns about rubbing
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 mines 205/50/15 and i had to roll front arches and slightly trim rears but when i had 13s on i had 185/60/13 but i didnt like it so went back to my 15s luckly id sold them to my mate but he still had them and no use for them
Fiesta Steve Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 I'd' put a 175 on a 5.5" rim in either 50, 60 or 70 profile.

Yeomans22 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 175 or 185, either one go for a 60, cheapest place to buy new might be Mytyres.co.uk, i recently bought some from there delivery is included in the price too.
