Find Tyres for Ford Ka

Frequently asked questions

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

• Why does the Ford Ka have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Ford Ka has had 3 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• Can I mix tyre brands on a Ford Ka?

  It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Ford Ka. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.

• How often should I rotate tyres on a Ford Ka?

  Most tyre makers and Ford workshops recommend rotating front and rear every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Front-wheel-drive cars typically wear front tyres faster; rotation extends overall tyre life.

• Where do I find the load index for Ford Ka 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 Ka.

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

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