Tyre sizes - Warning

[mac96]

It mat be unique to my car, but I have found that if I put the registration number of my s650 Mustang into any tyre retail site such as Black Circles, it comes up with a completely wrong size, not suitable for front or rear. Wouldn't be right for a Dark Horse either. Possibly right for a US spec non V8, maybe.

Hopefully no one on PH would be caught out by this but.....

Thanks for the heads up. I've just done that on BC and maybe just you as it gave me the correct differential F and R sizes for my Dark Horse.

Yes hopefully a one off. Never had the issue with my old S550.

The sites generally give optional sizes front and back and at least on one of my cars it's totally wrong.
I don't think this is news or unique to your vehicle.

Yep, totally wrong for my S650 GT as well.

235/50 R18 Y and 440 hp would be lively to say the least.
