13inch or 14inch tyres

[peter0003]

Hello Everybody, I need to get hold of a 13inch tyre to replace the spare with and have bought one via tyrefinder.co.uk and I have found that they could be a dodgy company to use . As anyone used them ? Also has anyone tried using 14 inch tyre on a panda 1.2 dyamic eco model which is my car, would they foul up under the wheel arches?

Can't find any matches for tyrefinder.co.uk, are you sure that's the correct address? And what's gone wrong?

I've ordered tyres online in the past but prefer to use my local independent tyre place, including fitting and balancing they're often cheaper overall.

Note that a 14" tyre fits to a 14" rim.

14" alloy wheels were a factory option for some 2WD 169 Pandas, with 165/60 R14 tyres, so yes it would fit without fouling the wheel arches, but you'll need a full set of replacement wheels.

In fact the 14" tyre option surprisingly has a smaller circumference than the 13" due to the lower sidewall.
