Choosing wheels and tires for Ford minibus, crossover, SUV

The American company Ford Motor is the fourth largest company in the world in terms of vehicle production. Over the past century, its extensive product range has been popular not only in the Western Hemisphere, but also in every other country.

Our country is no exception either, since more than 50,000 new cars of this brand are sold in Russia per year.

The people who bought them, first of all, have questions about the size and interchangeability of wheels, as well as the choice of winter and summer tires, which we will try to answer.

It is impossible to cover the entire range of Ford cars at once, since it includes more than 70 models, each of which has several modifications. In this publication we will pay attention to three options that are very popular in our country.

Let's look at what wheels fit on them, and what selection of tires and wheels are available in stores.

Ford Kuga

A few years ago, the Ford lineup of cars was supplemented by a lightweight SUV - the Kuga crossover. The car is powerful enough, but not enough to drive completely off-road.

Still, it is more intended for the city, or at most for the suburbs. The car is dynamic and stylish, arousing admiration with its exterior. Naturally, the wheels for the Ford Kuga should match its magnificent appearance.

Dimension

Before we go over the design of the wheels, let's figure out which wheels are suitable for the Ford Kuga, depending on the modification:

ALCASTA M35

A nice model from the same ALCASTA, with a complex design. And in general, under this brand there is a wide choice for Ford Kuga.

DEZENT TC

Another model from Germany is DEZENT TC. Smooth lines of slightly curved rays, rich silver, almost pearlescent hue. A dream, not discs. And even 25 percent cheaper than the previous option.

ENKEI SC20

SCAD Ontario

Model from the Krasnoyarsk SCAD plant. Available in two color options – selenium and diamond.

General background information

Wheel disks

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On what roads will the car be primarily used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Ford Transit 2013?

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

Transit R15 tire pressure

On wheels of size 195/65 P15, the manufacturer recommends maintaining boost at 2.2/2.3 Atm at the front and 2.5/3.4 Atm at the rear. This is true for configurations with the T index. For modifications of assemblies with the K prefix, pump up 2.2/2.5 Atm and 2.7/3.4 for the front and rear axles.

Consider the vehicle's load level.
Experienced drivers can determine by eye whether the tires are properly pressurized under a certain load.
