Ford Contour Tire Fitment by Model Year
Use this hub to choose the correct Ford Contour model year before reviewing tires. The Contour was sold in the United States from 1995 through 2000 as a four-door, front-wheel-drive sedan, but its original wheel and tire combinations changed across trims and production phases. Early GL, LX, and SE models used documented 14-inch and 15-inch configurations, while the SVT introduced a distinct 16-inch setup for 1998.
Selecting a Ford Contour year leads to production-specific trim details, factory tire sizes, original wheel specifications, and compatible replacement tires for that Contour configuration.
Why Selecting the Correct Ford Contour Year Matters
The Contour remained on Ford’s CDW27 platform throughout production, but its factory equipment was not identical from 1995 to 2000. The 1996 SE gained standard seven-spoke alloy wheels, the sedan received a major exterior revision for 1998, and the SVT added model-specific suspension, braking, wheel, and tire equipment. Original fitment also varied by engine and trim, including 185/70R14, 195/65R14, 205/60R15, and P205/55ZR16 configurations. Choosing the model year first narrows the vehicle to the correct OEM setup.
What You’ll Find After Selecting a Ford Contour Year
Each Contour model-year page identifies factory trims such as GL, LX, SE, SE Sport, and SVT where documented. You can review original tire sizes including 185/70R14, 205/60R15, and P205/55ZR16, compare factory wheel configurations, and confirm whether the vehicle used a 14-inch, 15-inch, or 16-inch setup. Continue with the appropriate year to view compatible replacement tires for the original production configuration.
