Best Tyres for the Ford Focus C Max

I just have bought these tyres for the 4rd time (each time a full set). I used these now on 4 different cars of I still own 3. I had them on a Ford S-Max and they were the best of all seasons I ever put on them. The compromis I been looking for when you drive normal but also like a nice level of safety in case things go south. The other three cars I still own. A Mitsu Colt on which the tyre felt like a fish in the water from the first day on. Finally some decent steering and grip. That set is now 4 years old, and axle swamp has happened just last year. I have to admit with the tyre half worn (still +4mm) on the rear axl, things have gotten a little less grippy. If any, the wet is likely the least of his qualities but still within safe acceptable range.On my Kodiaq it's a wonderful tyre as well, even more silent than on the smaller car. The grip is about the same though it feels here even stronger on dry, and perhaps a tiny bit less on snow. Likely that has something to do with the car weight, and perhaps the tyre dimensions. And now I got got them on our Ford C-max, and hopefully they last as long as the Michelin Cross Climate plus they replace. The only thing that surprised me was the difference in price. I have all rather normal wheels on my cars, but strangely enough the size on the Cmax was the most expensive tire. While my Kodiaq is a larger size, the tyre came cheaper.

Very good braking on dry and wet roads, good road information, it is an XL 94v with reinforced sides, comfortable to drive, minimal noise reaching the cabin, as for snow and ice, we still don't have it in Edessa, a city in northern Greece, but the temperature at dawn drops 5 degrees and the Pirelli SF3 tires respond perfectly. It is the first time I have put on all season tires and I am excited.

Bought a used car with these tyres practically new, changed them after around 1000 miles. Medium grip on dry but an absolute disaster on wet, even considering that they are a budget tyre.

Although the number of miles give them a good price/value score, the tyre is really insecure near his end. Left tyre was broken between his tread and side. Right tyre has a bulge in the side. There are a still few millimeters of tread.

Had all seasons for years and found these to be the best on a budget. Had uniroyal/vredestein/hankook etc prev and these knock spots off them. Always got me to work(and home again) even in all the snow in march 2018 and we live in a hilly area.

Lets be honest I sell tyres and I see a lot of worn tyres and tyres at the end of their life,this brand is one we have tried and tested on our own car as if im selling to my customers I like to make sure that MY CUSTOMERS WILL COME BACK FOR ANOTHER SET, OK first all tyres will crack over time even premium so that's going to happen if you don't wear them out but they tend to last longer than most budget tyres,the life of these tyres is above average I had one customer high milage user doing 24000 miles on a set and changed them with about 2 mm across the tyre,we managed 18000 miles on the front of our test car,hey if they are priced right then I don't think you would be disappointed using this brand,also three a and aoteli these are from the same family just using a different name

The Goodride tyres were the cheapest in local shops and the summer tyres that came with my car were just barely roadworthy so I ended up getting these. For the first summer they were fine, although on the loud side and heavy to roll (not as heavy as friction tyres on bare tarmac though) they rolled smoothly. They have a fairly good grip IMO, in soaking wet weather on the motorway I was able to brake from 100 to 30 rather rapidly (the line in front suddenly slowed down and I followed suit) and there was no single kick from the ABS, no weaving, nothing peculiar that way.

On the second spring on those tyres, some vibration started occurring at about 120 km/h and it was resolved by rebalancing, although it returned a bit towards the fall.

Now on the third spring, vibration starts a wee bit above 100 km/h and is apparently not remarkably altered by rebalancing. The tyres are visibly lumpy and bumpy, unevenly worn and louder than before, also they tend to weave a bit. I have had the car checked for play in the joints, rack ends, support arms, and bearings. None was found and the rims are also reasonably straight.

So maybe if you have an near-end-of-life car and you need to get tires to drive for one summer or two, or to sell it off, these might not be too expensive, and will probably do fine. They just don't seem to be the most durable tyres available. After 23k miles there is half of the original tread left and the wear is uneven. So they won't be my first choice for the next tyre set.

I've had a car that came with used Nokia tyres, and I had that for four years. Never needed to rebalance, just changed two tyres on the last summer because they were worn - they lasted roughly 40k miles in my use, not sure how long the previous owner had them.

I own ford cmax 115 hp 205 55 16.This winter I first put krisalp 3 .... The few days I have it on dry asphalt are all OK and no noise ..... on wet and frozen asphalt they do not I tried, but in two months I will know.

I am so happy with my tires. Wet and snow grip of this tire are amazing. They are quite noisy, however I can not even mention this when I think about tire's general performance.

I put these budget tyres on the back of a Ford thinking they wouldn't be any trouble just hauling them around. After about eighteen months and approx 10k the MOT inspector said to be aware they were going out of shape. I went back to the supplier who also agreed but was not prepared to do anything about it as they woere not that bad. I continued to use them but the noise level from them started to increase significantly. Like others it left me considering that the wheel bearings were on the way out. Thinking it may be worse due to amplification from the estate configuration of the C Max and prior to another MOT I switched them to the front with around 16k on them. I honestly could not stand the noise and vibration at any thing above 30mph. I changed them out shortly afterwards still with a good 50% wear on them. The noise level from these tyres was unbelievable and probably the last pair of directionals I would ever buy because of this bad experience. My new suppliers/fitters confirmed this can be a common complaint with some directionals. On the front the grip was still reasonable in the dry but fell away dramatically in the wet. Thank goodness they have gone and I now have Dunlops asymmetrics all round and a much happier car.
