Lets talk tires for the Focus

[SuRrEaLNJ]

Well with aproaching 29k on my stock p6's its about time to start lookin for a replacement. they still have a touch over 2/32 on em, but i dont really want to run them much past the wear bars

anyway, i know the p6 is an alright tire, but i know its not a great one. im looking for something thats going to be a step up, but not really break the bank either. I am not planing on runing seperate snow tires, and i need a M+S as this is my primary mode of transportation.

Since the pirellis have been relatively good to me one of my considerations is the pzero nero, wich although a little pricyer then some of the others ive seen ive read good things about

looking to see if anyone here has some input

Bridgestone Potenza's RE960's are one of the top rated tires and they are rated significantly better than the Pirelli's. Tire rack has them for about $75 each.

took a look and they dont seem to make them in focus sizes

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

hmmm... the BFG g-Force Super Sport A/S seem to get some good raves

I wonder if the new Goodyear Assurance would be something to look at...?

The older Comfortred had pretty good ratings on Tirerack, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Assurance+ComforTred#Survey

Too bad the Tripletreds are not in your size. I would recommend looking at those. My g/f's 05 Accord LXSE coupe is on it's second set. These are an excellent all-season tire choice.

:bsnicker:I say you go with some MUDDERS

Or how about the tires on ths truck

Look at Cooper Zeon ZPT's- I put a set on my wife's Alero and love em. Quiet and handle great. Plus, they have an awesome tread design.

Okay seriously Bridgestone Potenza g009 is a fantastic tire, and it looks good too

Hey, i went to tire rack and searched under a 07 focus, guess they need to get their tire numbers right

My sister has a focus and she has The g-Force Super Sport A/S is BFGoodrich's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire, and she has driven in snow up in Mammoth Lakes in Nocal

Essex4x4, I am guessing that the 205/50r16 is the correct size from the 2007 SES ZX4 I read in http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=193471, until SuRrEaLNJ chimes in and shoots me down.

Continental Contitrac!!!

Great tires. I had them on my Audi that I just got rid of for my Explorer.
The Audi had AWD and coilovers (had it dropped about 2 inches)
Those tires gripped like no tomorrow!!! In the rain, snow, turns. And I got them for $405 mounted balanced and aligned!!

yup, 205/50/16 is the corect size for me

although, 185/65-14, 195/60-15, and 215/45-17 are all also oem sizes

something that i shoulda pointed out in the original post, but didnt is that i was looking at either ultrahigh or high performance all seasons

I keep hearing amazing things about the bfg g-force super sport a/s from all over the place, so i think thats the way im gonna go...

i seem to be becoming a bfg fan anyway...

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

$405 mounted balanced and aligned!!

and just for the sake of mentioning, i dont think id trust anyone who mounted balanced and aligned for that... i know i get 2.2hrs for an align alone, and when i was still doin tires used to get .5 a tire or somethin like that

We have the Goodrich G-Force SuperSports on the '66 and they work quite nicely. You also could go with the BFG KDW II's, which are an awesome tire! I had them on the Mach...excellent choice!

BTW they do make the Bridgestone Potenza in that size...check out http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compa...=20&pagenum=1&pagemark=1&x=78&y=9&RunFlat=All

The BFG KDW's are sweet! This is probally what I will put on the Volvo next, and they really arn't to bad price wise
