Ford Focus - Tyre Sizing - wrightstuff

Hi, I have a 2006 Ford Focus which had 205/55/R16 91V tyres as the original specification tyres.

At the moment it is fitted with a full set of winter tyres on steels which are 205/55/R16 91H which is one speed rating lower. (Still rated at around 130mph!) I informed my insurance company and this is fine and has been noted on their system.

My question is that i am thinking of buying a 2010/2011 Renualt Scenic (need more space!) and this car has 205/60/R16 91V. If possible i would like to be able to use my set of winter tyres for this car. Would this be legal and/or safe?

Does anyone know the answer to this or could point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks,

Dave

It'll be fine, only the speedo will be a few % out.
