Q: What is the best tyre for a Ford Escort Mexico?

A: The Escort RS and Mexico tyres tended to fit 175/70R13 Pirelli Cinturato CN36.

Q: can I fit a 175/70R13 on a car that originally fitted 155 – 13?

A: yes, mostly. 175/70R13 is a low profile alternative to a 155-13 tyre. However it is wider so you need to be sure it won’t rub your inner wing.
