Find Tyres for Ford C-Max

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Where do I find the load index for Ford C-Max tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Ford C-Max.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Ford C-Max?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Ford C-Max. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Ford C-Max?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Ford C-Max — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new C-Max tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Ford C-Max preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.

• What pressure should the Ford C-Max run?

  The correct pressure for your Ford C-Max is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
