Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Did UK-market Ford Fiesta cars use the same tyres as US versions?

Smaller-rim cars (14" and below) usually have plenty of sidewall, which gives a softer ride and lower replacement cost. Mid-range tyres are often the best value here unless you do high-mileage motorway driving.
