Technical tyre size?

[belfastchris]

hi my girls sei mia 900 needs two new front tyres for the mot - they are currently the standard 165 55 13's- is it advisable to just replace the same size allover or could she sensibly have a different size up font no problems with the rear being the standard size? and if so what size is advisable as the 165 55 13's are an uncommon size ive been told wherever ive rung for a quote

First off put the old rear tyres (assuming you're replacing them) on the front and the new tyres on the rear. Secondly 175/50R13 is a nice size for the Sporting, however may tax the 900 too much

na its the front two so im assuming they have been changed and swaped before and now the fronts need replaced- its just that they are pricey at £40each and not well stocked in most places- so ur saying best to keep on the standard size then>?
