Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2008-2016 Ford Ka?
Most 2008-2016 Ford Ka cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What should Ford Ka drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Ford Ka?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Ford Ka drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
What wet grip should I look for on the Ford Ka?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Ford Ka?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
