Winter tyre question (another one)

Featured Replies

The Wife is trading in her 2009 Skoda Fabia hatchback for a 2013 Fabia Monte Carlo Estate and my question being, the new car has 205/40 R17 wheels on it but I wonder if someone could advise if her existing winter tyres which are 195/55 R15 would be OK to fit to the new car without affecting speedo, insurance etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Yep should be fine, you'll find the Spare in the Monte will be a 195/55/15, thats if you have a spare.

Alloys bought stock clearance from a dealer with a good discount; type used on the Fabia Blueline 2009 special edition.

I managed to find some 16" genuine VW steels to fit my mk1 VRS winters on - 205/45/16. Both the steels and tyres seem to be like hen's teeth in those sizes!
