these tires have turned out to be a really good buy, ive tried pretty much all of the premium tires and on ly got about 10-13k out of them, these guys have 9k on them at the moment and are still going strong a really good buy. My only small issue is the side wall is a little soft but that is a very small niggle, i would recommend these tires all day long

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These tires were fitted to my Focus ST when I got it, and I have to say that they are an absolutely dreadful tire. They gave me no confidence in cornes whatsoever, and would spin up if I even thought about going near the throttle...in a straight line!
Replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2's, and the car has been transformed!
DO NOT PUT THESE ON A "HOT HATCH"!

1 word - terrifying. Not great in the dry, but in the wet i have never been so scared driving. My esp light is like a flashing Christmas tree light, and is the only thing that kept me on the road. On a road i know very well and have driven many times, i had to crawl. Any touch on the throttle, even in 6th gear mid corner it pushed wide across the white line until the esp cut in.
The tires are also wearing on the shoulders quite badly, not underinflated or anything, just really odd wear. I cannot emphasize how terrible these are, avoid at all costs. These will be replaced as soon as i can afford.
