Hi,
Think I found some 14" wheels to fit my normally 15" wheeled outfitted 2001 Ford Focus Wagon. It has 195/60-15's on it now, but I got 4 super cheap 14" studded tires for the winter , so tracked down a set of rims from an old Tempo which seem to fit.
Before I bought them, I called the dealer and asked them some questions about wheels and they said I had to stay within 3% of the original tire/wheel size due to a possiblity of a tranny speed sensor problem?!
Anyways.......does anyone know anything about this sensor?
Fitting the 14's for the winter to the car will reduce the size by about 4%........do I risk anything?
How in heck with the tranny sensor know I have 14's anyways?
Can I disable that feature if there is a problem?
I pay for the wheels tomorrow (if I get them)
Help! (please)
Many thanks,
Mike in NB
