Fab Comfort HTP 1.2 2003 - Various tyre sizes??

Good day All,

This query is to satisfy my curiosity (hopefully).

I'm in the process of getting two replacement front tyres for my Fabia. As you check for prices on the various on-line retailers they will ask for the car's reg. no., etc. All retailers bar none, gave the cars full spec, plus this size of tyre 165/70R14.

However, on checking my Fab, the tyres are 185/60R14 all round. Was this an optional size when the vehicle was purchased from new, or the preference of a previous keeper, or a change of spec during the vehicle production run?

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
