What size tyres are on a Ford Mondeo?
There is no single tyre size for all Mondeos—the size depends on the model year, trim level and wheel option, but most models use tyres between 15" and 18" wheels, typically ranging from about 195/65R15 to 235/50R18.
This guide explains how to identify the exact tyre size for your Mondeo, and outlines common size ranges used across different generations. Always check the door placard on the driver’s door jamb or the owner's manual for the precise specification for your car.
How to find your Mondeo tyre size
To ensure you fit the correct tyres, start with the official specification printed on your car. The size is usually shown in the form of a three-part code such as 205/60R16, which tells you the width, aspect ratio and wheel diameter.
- Check the door jamb placard on the driver's side for the tyre size codes (for example 205/60R16).
- Inspect the sidewall of the current tyres; the size is printed in the format width/ratioRdiameter (e.g., 205/60R16).
- Consult the owner's manual or a dealer service sheet for the exact factory specifications for your trim and market.
- If you have a space-saver spare, note that it may use a different size; follow the spare’s specification only in emergencies.
- When in doubt, use your VIN or the vehicle build sheet to confirm the recommended tyre size for your exact configuration.
Concluding paragraph: The most reliable source for your Mondeo’s correct tyre size is the door placard or the official manual; tyre sizes can vary by market, year and trim even within the Mondeo family.
