James,
You need to put winter tyres on all 4 wheels!!
If only on the front -> more likely that you will spinn . . .
You will have more grip in the front than at the rear . . . etc.
The grip/stopping power of the tires needs to be the same at the front &
back.
When you have to brake hard the rear wheels will block easyer when they have
summer tyres - less grip in snow/rain - can be fun if you like rally style
driving . . . .
Don't know if the ka wheels will fit.
I have a set of 13" original steel Fiesta wheels. And soon will put winter
tires on all 4.
Groetjes
Hans

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Winter Tyres & Wheels
Hiya folks
I am thinking of getting some steel wheels, and fitting them with
winter tyres...
Q2-002 is based on a Mk2 XR2 - will standard Fiesta Mk4/5/Ka 155/70/13
standard factory wheels fit, or is it a case of try and see?
Also If I fit winter tyres to the front - will it make any real
difference?
Finally - do I *really* need to fit winter tyres all round, or can I
keep the normal summer tyres on the rear, and just have the steels
with 13" on the front.
I currently have 14" 185 Alloys all round.
Thanks
James T
