The tire size for the Ford Consul Mk1 and Mk2, made between 1950 to 1962, was originally 5.90×13. The radial tire equivalent size is 165HR13, a high-speed rated steel-belted tire with the correct period tread pattern. For the Ford Consul Classic (1961 to 1963) and Ford Consul Capri (1961 to 1964), the tire size was 5.60×13, and the radial equivalent of this tire is also the radial 165R13 size. It’s important to note that using other sizes could damage your vehicle and make the National Type Approval invalid, so it’s crucial to use only approved wheel and tire sizes.
