Fitment comes from each tyre'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.

Maxxis Premitra HP5 215-45-17 Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 11,000 miles November 26, 2025
Lasted 11000 miles...
When new handles just alright and then it slowly gets worst.
Budged tyres but wear way too fast in my opinion.

Landsail LS388 AS 215-50-17-R Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 8,000 miles January 7, 2021
Although it is made in mainland China, it is actually quite excellent in use and has a very high level of noise performance. Although the grip on dry ground (sudden braking) is not so ideal, it is definitely no problem in normal driving. The rain is good, cheap and good

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225-45-17- Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 7,000 miles May 18, 2020
Bought them used with the wheels, have done one summer and no sign of wear. They are heavy and they do feel like it but when you start driving enthusiastically there is excellent communication and feedback. Traction is near excellent in tarmac and offroad. The tries (runflat version) feel very stiff and I would not recommend if you were driving constantly on bad roads. Wet grip is decent but can catch you off guard sometimes, fairly unpredictable in the rain - better take caution-. Would I buy them again? No, not that they are bad, they are very neutral, id have some other high performance summer tires from Conti or Michelin.

Dunlop Sport BluResponse 205-55-16- Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 10,000 miles July 25, 2016
Ai eu ces pneus sur ma Ford Focus 1.6 pendant les 18 derniers mois.

Le plus - l'adhérence est vraiment super.

Le moins - j'ai fait seulement 10.000 miles avec eux et le fil est très faible. Ils devront être remplacés dans les prochains 1000 miles. Très mauvais kilométrage pour un pneu premium.

Pour être honnête, je pousse un peu les pneus, mais je ne suis pas non plus un pilote de course. J'ai adoré les pneus tant que l'adhérence était bonne, mais je ne pense pas que je pourrais justifier de les acheter à nouveau.

Achilles ATR Sport 2 225-45-18-W Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 5,000 miles September 20, 2015
Dry grip is excellent while wet is ok. Threadwear is high and I expect it to last a while. Best thing is the value for money. Cost half the price compared to Conti/Michelin

Sunny SN3970 225-45-17- Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 12,000 miles April 19, 2015
Bought two of these for my Focus. Had to move them from front to rear as road noise was loud, very loud. Still noisy on rear but not as bad as before. They handle fine in the dry, not so well in the wet. If you drive normally in the wet they are fine, but if you are a "spirited" driver or like quiet tyres, I would avoid.

Continental WinterContact TS 850 205-55-16-H Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 20,000 miles January 4, 2015
Excellent tyre, driven for a 3rd season. Very good grip both on dry and wet. Snow grip is near perfect. Good road feedback and progressivnes. Excellen wear ratio. Comfort is good but sidewalls are a little bit soft. Definitely would buy again!

Altenzo Comforter 225-40-18- Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 1,000 miles January 16, 2013
These are sold at budget tyre price, so far they have given better grip in dry, wet and snow than the continentals sports that came on my car, and at a third of the price. Read the reviews and was sceptical due to the price about these tyres... I found grip in all conditions to be excellent, less noise than premium brand that was on the car. When replacing tyres I will buy again and recommend to anyone, can't comment on wear as not done enough miles

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17- Ford Focus 2.0 S TDCi 6,200 miles December 19, 2012
Had first generation Asymmetric before changing to Asymmetric2. First gen was more grippy in the dry, but wear was quite high. Lasted 23,000km. Now at about 40% worn down after about 10,500km. Car has been at one time remapped to 170hp and 390Nm. Now running at 160hp and 370Nm..Very heavy right foot.
