Need my tires replaced on Ford KA 2005?
I need to have my tires replaced on my ford KA, however my friend said I need a bolt or something? I have what looks like a wrench crowbar thing that came with the car when I bought it? Do I need anything else, I'm taking it to a garage, or will they have what I need? I'm so confused.
If the wheels are alloy there will be a special nut/bolt that needs a key to undo it. Have a good look in all the storage areas in the car including the spare wheel/jack area as it may be lurking there. The tyre fitters won't be able to take the wheels off without it. A Ford dealer may have the info to sell you a spare. If the wheels are steel there's no special key needed.
You need the lock bolt. They are there to secure someone from stealing your wheels.
All tire shops have ways of getting locking nuts off. They will have what you need. They have seen this before, people always lose the "key" that fits locking nuts.
All you need is the $$… They have the tools, and HOPEFULLY the know-how
If you're taking them to a garage or tire store, the only thing you will need is money.
Your car probably has a locking wheel nut on each wheel. There will be a nut like thing somewhere in the car. The garage will need this when you get the tyres done.
You need to know where it is if you ever get a flat tyre.
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- Will a set of 235/60-R17 tires fit a vehicle with 225/50-R17 tires currently? If they do I'm assuming there would be a MPH difference on the speedometer. Update: The 60 series set is from a 2014 Ford Focus and are stud-less winter tires. They are to go on a 2012 Ford Fusion.

- Is it better to ride on 32 inch tires or 33 inch tires on a 2010 f150? As of right now I have 33 inch tires on my 2010 ford f150 supercrew cab truck. It has a 2 inch leveling kit. The previous owner put 33s on it. When I make sharp turns I feel maybe the tire size is maybe too big? It's always making a grinding noise
