About the Ford Kuga's tyres
Ford sold the Kuga in South Africa from 2012 until the range was wound down around 2020, and the second generation from 2013 makes up almost all the cars on the road. Ambiente models run 235/55 R17 on 17-inch wheels, Titanium models 235/50 R18 on 18s, and the later ST-Line 2.0 EcoBoost and 2.0 TDCi AWD ride on 18-inch wheels with an optional 19-inch styling pack. Check the sidewall on a Trend before buying.
Before you order, check the size on the sticker inside the driver's door or on your current tyres: derivatives and wheel options change the size. Read how to read a tyre size or when to replace tyres.
