    Whilst very interesting that doesn't really add much!
    It's an answer to post #3.

    Looking up what a Ford dealer would say was standard https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/service-and-maintenance/motorcraft/tyres/fiesta

    We find various tyre sizes including 195/45 R16 84V but not 185/50 R16 85V so the tyres fitted were not manufacturer spec but the replacements are. Since we now know the car is a 2012 - it could have done enough miles to justify the tyre change and the previous owner went for a cheap option.

    Nothing else changes though...
    I need to think of something new here...
