Different Size Tyres On Front And Back

Featured Replies

Hi All

Is it recommended to have 185 60 14 on the back and 185 65 14 at the front?

I needed to get my tryes replaced as they were worn and the scrap yard only had that size.

Is it a problem ?

Perhaps go to a tyre fitters rather than a scrap yard?

What would happe if you did this? Is it a problem ? How would it affect driving?

I have to say that the car does feel a lot heavier now :( and steering is a bit more difficult

What size tyres do you guys have on the standard Skoda alloys?

It may make the car feel heavier and make steering more difficult.

Wow , do I win a prize?

I suggest getting some tyres of the correct size before you crash and find yourself charged with using a vehicle in a dangerous condition

Tyres from a scrapyard oh my days... talk about penny pinching haha

Your car should have 185 60 14s on , the 65 section tyres are the wrong size.

Are you sure about this?

My alloys look like this:http://www.grasmerevauxhall.co.uk/acatalog/CCH400003.jpg

What exactly is the difference between the 2? One in a few mm higher then the other?

It deinietly does feel a lot heavier so I might ask him to change it but I am curious as to what the difference is here

185 65 14 are the correct size for the MkIV Golf / Octavia MkI platform.

Most Fabia / Polo / Ibizas are fitted with 185 60 14 tyres. The 65 profile is too high and will affect your gearing and speedo accuracy if fitted to the front of the car.
