Hello all! Long time no speak, used to have a 100HP (Electroclash Grey, naturally) miss it greatly!


Perhaps i will return to the fold...hopefully so.


My question is.....my mam has a 2010 Panda Active Eco 1.1 with standard 155/80/R13 tyres.


She has been offered a set of steel wheels with winter tyres on, however, these are 185/55/R15 in size


is anyone able to confirm that these will fit? I think they should....as my 100HP had similar?


Thanks muchly! (EDITED to add - they are coming from a current Panda - which again makes me hopefull that they will fit the previous one)

If they will clear the wheel arch they may be ok
If you look on here https://www.errolstyres.co.za/odcalculator there is a calculator which shows the difference in rolling radius and the impact on indicated speed, A wider tyre will alter the drag so you may notice slightly less acceleration but in winter that may not be a problem

(corrected after realising I had read the new tyre size wrongly)

Thank you everyone.


Well, we went for them. It was too good a deal not to, really.


We will try them and see (i'll get a pic for the forum)


If no good, we have a 2014 Panda Trekking in the family that they could fit, too.
