Default Puma tyre sizes

Does anyone know if a puma can take 195/55/zr15 `s on the back if the fronts are 195/50/r15?......got some spare p7000 55`s from my previous car and was just gonna give them to my mates missus if they fit and are ok to use with 50`s (think the fronts are p6000 ....not sure)...Ta in advance

Yours

You'll have tyres with a diameter of 596mm instead of 576mm which means the tyre will be 10mm closer to the wheel arch. They'll fit fine unless they've got 2 hulk hogans in the back as the wheel arch clearance was always quite big on the puma.

Puma's would probably prefer to play with dead zebra's than with tyres, but I would imagine the size of tyre will be of no concern to this feline carnivore
If size matters then eldudereno sounds like his knows what he's talking abooot.

Pumas handle nicely and brake with quite good stability, would be a shame to ruin this. I would (for the sake of the tyres which are cheap) keep them all the same tread and profile. It wouldn't surprise me if the ABS threw a fault code with a mismatched front/rear rolling radius.
