Ford  Mondeo – 205/55 16 V, Pirelli P6000

This was Ford’s best move into the Corporate vehicle market. Regarded by many as the best of the corporate cruisers that are available. The many engine and option levels available make it suitable for most situations. Again the tyres are designed to provide a smooth quiet drive when motorway driving. But like its little brother the Focus the Mondeo can be enjoyed by the most demanding driver. The tyre options depend on what style of driving you enjoy. For a smooth quiet ride then a Bridgestone ER30 tyre would be an option.

The new 07 Mondeo is fitted with Continental tyres as the manufacturer's recommended brand, with options including the Premium Contact or Premium Contact 2.

Blackcircles constantly offer excellent deals across a range of different tyre sizes, so please check our latest tyre deals on our Special Offers page. Do you know that on some vehicles it is possible to fit a different brand of tyre from what is currently on the car, you may find a different brand suits your budget and driving style better – so it’s always worth investigating. However some vehicle manufacturers do recommend that you keep the same brand of tyres that originally came on the vehicle as they have worked with the tyre manufacturers to develop vehicle specific fitments to improve the vehicle’s performance.

If you are at all unsure whether you can change brand, please call our customer service team on 0845 200 0022 who will be able to let you know whether there are any alternative brands for your vehicle. Don’t forget that Blackcircles remain independent and we pride ourselves on offering our customers impartial advice on tyres.
