Ford Granada Tyres

1975 Ford Granada MK1 Brochure Cover

1972–1977 Ford Granada MKI Tyres

• From 1972 to 1977, the 2 litre and 2.5 litre mk1 Granada models fitted 5.5” wheels with 175 R14 Tyres.
• In this size, we recommend the 175 HR 14 Michelin XAS.
• These tyres fit a Michelin 14E innertube.
• These smaller engined MK1 1972 – 1977 Granada models also fitted 185 R14 Tyres as an option with 6” wheels.
• The 3 Litre, Ghia, Estate, and Coupe MK1 Granada fitted 185 R14 tyres as standard.
• Longstone recommends the 185 HR 14 Michelin MXV-P for a Ford Granada.
• MK1 Ford Granada 3000 S tyres were low profile 195/70 R14 tyres on 6” wheels. We suggest the 195/70VR14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
• For these tyres, the Michelin 14F innertube would be the best fit.
• Our period Innertube Guides suggest that all or most Granada models were released with tubeless wheels as standard. Providing your wheels are original equipment and in good condition, innertubes are not essential for these wheels.

1977–1985 Ford Granada MKII Tyres

---

• The Mk2 Ford Granada of 1977 to 1985 remains similar, with 175 HR 14 Michelin XAS on 5.5” rims, 185 HR 14 Michelin MXV-P and 195/70VR14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 for top-range models.
• Cars, including the Ford Granada 2.0 L, GL, Granada 2.3 GL, Ghia, Granada 2.8 Ghia, Ford Granada 2.8i Ghia, and Estate, in both manual and automatic, fitted either 175 R14 or 185 R14 tyres. If you desire a low profile tyre for these models, the 195/70VR14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 is a perfect low-profile alternative.
• Some top-end MK2 1977–1985 Ford Granada models fitted the 190/65 HR 390 Michelin TRX. This is the ideal classic tyre for a Ford Granada 2.8i, GLS, Ghia, 2.8 Ghia X, 2.8 V6 Scorpio, and 2.8i S.
• It is worth noting that you cannot fit the Michelin TRX tyres on anything but 390mm TRX wheels, and you can only fit TRX tyres on the TRX wheel.
• Tyres with a profile below 70%, such as the 190/65 HR 390 Michelin TRX, must not fit innertubes.

1992 Ford Scorpio Tyres

• MK3 Ford Granada from 1985 to 1994 fitted a mix of classic tyre sizes and more generic modern tyre sizes.
• Earlier on in the Mk3's production, the majority of models were still fitted with full profile classic tyre sizes. The 3 Litre Ghia and coupe, Granada 2L estates, 2.0L, 2.1L Diesel, and 2.3L Saloons, including L, X, and LX, and GL models fitted 185 R14 tyres.
• The 195/70VR14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 is an excellent low-profile alternative for these MKIII models originally fitted with full profile sizes, aligning them closer with the higher-specification models.
• The 185 HR 14 Michelin MXV-P, though a great tyre, is getting a little long in the tooth to suit the geometry of the MK3 Granada. More of the Granada variants began switching to modern tyres each year the MKIII was produced.
• The more up market 2.0-litre models, Granada EFi, Ghia, Scorpio variants, 2.5 TD Ghia, and all 'S' models fitted 195/65 R15 or the more upgraded size 205/60-15 Tyres.
• For these models and the top-end models, the 2.9 Ghia, 2.9 EFi, 2.9 Ghia 4X4, and the 2.9 Cosworth 24V Scorpio, we recommend the 205/60 WR 15 Michelin Pilot Primacy 3.
• The Michelin Pilot Primacy 3 is ideally suited to the chassis of the MK3 1985–1994 Granada and is a great addition to Michelin's Youngtimer range.
• The 2.9i Scorpio 24V of 1991, the 2.9EFi Scorpio 24V of 1992, and the 2.9i Cosworth 24V Scorpio 24V Ghia of 1993 fitted 205/50R16 tyres. This is still a generic, modern tyre size you can find at a modern tyre shop.
• In the final years of production, the majority of Granada models, including Granada Estates and Scorpio variants, fitted modern sizes. The final models fitting full-profile classic tyres were the 2.9i Ghia (1990–1991) and the EFi LX Auto (1992).
