I have a FIAT Panda Dynamic Multijet 114g/km diesel. I wish to purchase winter tyres for it. At present the size I have is 155/80 R13 but my local tyre dealer says that he can only get winter tyres in 155/70/R13. Would these be all right for my car?

I bought a set of 14" wheels for my FIAT 500 and fitted a set of 175/65 R14 Michelin Alpins to them. These will be the same rolling circumference as the 13” wheels with deeper profile tyres on your Panda.
