Different size tyres

[bergenhaus]

I've just bought a Panda 100hp and it's not time yet thankfully but I'm wondering if the set of winter tyres I have will work with it.
The Panda's wheels are 195/45 R15 and I've got a set of winter tyres for a Micra I had that are 195/50 R15.

By some approximate maths I worked out with the higher profile Micra tyres the Panda speedo would under-read by about 1mph at 30mph and around 2.5mph at 70mph. Not too drastic. I don't think there would be any clearance issues as the diameter is only 2cm bigger roughly. Not sure if it would confuse the ABS or ESP etc.

Any thoughts?

Don't think either ABS or ESP fitted to the Panda are sophisticated enough to be confused by anything so small (or sophisticated enough to do anything useful, BWTH).

I am sure my winter tyres I have for my 100HP are the same size as that - and I used them last winter with no issues.

They are in the garage, so I will check at some point

They were going to go on Gumtree before I twigged they might fit.

Would be good to hear if yours are the same.
