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.

What Ford Focus MK4.5 1.0 Ecoboost Hybrid drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
After three years of driving , 10,000 km, the tires no longer flake. They have stabilized. The tread depth was 6 mm when new. Now it is 5 mm on the front tires and 5.5 mm on the rear tires..
Given 56% while driving a Ford Focus MK4.5 1.0 Ecoboost Hybrid (215/50 R17) on mostly town for 4,600 easy going miles - already set this review. i Want now to add a picture.
These are the summer tires that were delivered to me for my 2023 Focus. I felt unsafe cornering on dry roads because the car tended to understeer, and I was afraid of losing control. When I picked up the new car, the tread depth was only 6 mm instead of 8 mm. I know there were some faulty batches that Ford replaced under warranty. I will never buy Continental tires again, even though I had them on my previous cars – Skodas – and was very happy with them. And Ford will never again sell new cars with such inferior tires.
Not a good tire. They came equipped in my 2024 Focus mk4.5, and after only 11.000 km both front tires need replacement. I drive 100% in the city/highway, never drive on unpaved roads, and park in a covered public parking with "gentle" floors, but still they cracked and chunked like crazy, and entire pieces of tread fell off. A quick google search shows this is a common issue even with new tires (mine were manufactured in 1524), so i deem these tires unsafe, prone to highway blowout with potentially tragic consequences, and will be replacing four of them with a set from another manufacturer.
I’ve done 4000km’s with this tyre and always use it with factory advised 2.2-2.3 bar pressure. In dry conditions, grips well in the corners. However, I’m not happy with characteristics when hard braking in dry conditions. Tyres lock immediately and ABS involves in. Even braking on dry asphalt feels icy! Tyres feel like don’t want to grip the road to slow down. For handling 7 points but for braking 1. Tyre sound levels are good. Comfort ok. Haven’t driven into deep water yet. So no comments on aquaplanning. I would buy a Conti PC7 or Pirelli Cinturato P7/C3 instead… Buy more expensive but stay safe…
