The Ford Fiesta tyre size for the final Fiesta sedan is 195/60 R15 across Ambiente, Trend and Titanium trims, with petrol or diesel engines. Ambiente and Trend Fiestas got covered 15 inch steel rims, the Titanium got 15 inch alloys, and the earlier Fiesta Classic needs a smaller 175/65 R14.
Ford has left the Indian new car market, yet many Fiesta owners hang on to their cars for the lovely steering and long distance composure. Picking the correct rubber protects that character. This page covers both generations, decodes the numbers, weighs sensible size changes and lists buying checks.

A car badged Fiesta Classic needs the 14 inch size. Every later Fiesta sedan takes 195/60 R15 regardless of trim or engine.
What 195/60 R15 means on the Fiesta
Read it as 195 mm of tread across, a sidewall depth equal to sixty percent of that (117 mm), a radial carcass, and a 15 inch rim; altogether the Fiesta tyre stands near 615 mm. That 60 profile suits this Ford well: deep enough to soften rough tarmac, shallow enough to keep the crisp turn in that Fiesta fans rave about. Load index and speed letters are decoded in our sidewall code explainer.
Upsizing a Fiesta
| Size | Overall diameter | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 195/60 R15 (factory) | 615.0 mm | None |
| 195/55 R16 | 620.9 mm | About 1 percent |
| 185/65 R15 | 621.5 mm | About 1 percent |
Owners wanting bigger wheels usually choose 16 inch rims with 195/55 R16, which barely alters height. Those rims must suit the Fiesta hub in bolt circle, bore and offset; our bolt circle calculator helps confirm. Expansion joints on flyovers will thump a little harder. Because this is not a Ford specified size, the decision rests with you, and the insurance policy should record it.
Fiesta Classic: 175/65 R14
Classic owners run 175/65 R14, roughly 583 mm tall. A popular tweak is 185/65 R14 for a broader footprint, adding about 13 mm of height, near 2 percent, which keeps speedo error tolerable. Before leaving the shop, swing the wheel from lock to lock and confirm the wider tyre clears the suspension and liners.
Pressure on an older Ford
Ford's Indian cold value for either car eluded our research, and overseas numbers disagree, so none is printed here. Hunt for Ford's inflation sticker on the Fiesta's driver side door jamb, or check the handbook. If the label has faded away, a workshop experienced with Fords can look the figure up. Inflate before the car has been driven, and choose the heavy load figure for packed highway trips. Our car inflation guide explains why the moulded maximum is never the target.
Before you replace
- Inspect the production code on every tyre offered; slow moving sizes can sit unsold for ages.
- Renew tyres axle by axle, putting the fresher pair at the back for stability in rain.
- Look at the Fiesta's spare too. Plenty of old spares have never turned a wheel yet are cracked with age.
- If the front tyres wore out on their inner shoulders, book a alignment check before fitting replacements.
- Any swelling or deep slash needs a tyre technician's eye; go there at a crawl.

On the driver side door jamb sticker, or in the handbook. Inflate cold.
Are Fiesta tyres still easy to find?
