Different tyre sizes on same car? Safe or no safe?
Just replaced a 14 inch alloy wheel and tyre on my ford Fiesta MK4 with a wheel from a Peugot 306. Its still a 14inch wheel but the tyre is 175/65/R14 instead of 185/55/R14 that all my other wheels are. I know that different rim sizes can damage the car but the wheel is the same size, just the tyre different. Is this safe to drive or does tyre need replacing to match the other ones (or other side (front. At least.
Also, The new wheel, although same 14inch size is actually a lot bigger and doesn't sit so deep in the screw holes so the wheel is more prominant that the rest. Still plenty of thread and nuts bolted on very tightly but does look a bit odd. Still safe? Any advice appreciated.
