These were factory fit on a Ford Focus Wagon 1.0 155hp from 2022. They last only 40.000km. I had 3 tyre punctures during two years. Really not a good tyre in the wet.

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 Zetec drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I bought these due to the "good" reviews they had received online - great value for money, not budget, more mid-range apparently.
The "Ultra High Performance" tag should be removed, the sidewalls feel like they are made of paper.
It feels like the car has 4 flat tyres at the correct pressure for the car.
They flex so much in turns, and make the car handle very badly.
Changing lanes on a dual carriageway / motorway really feels dangerous.
I replaced them after 6 weeks and bought some Goodyear Eagle AS5 - the difference is night and day, don't take the risk for an extra £40 a tyre...
Best tyres I have ever had.I do about 40K miles a year and they served me well. Did 55K miles on the front tyres and the rear ones are on 85K miles at the moment, still about 10K left on them. What more do you want?
Had 4 of these on my Focus Zetec S and have now covered over 16000 miles ,,great all rounder ,,just drive sensibly and they wont let you down ,,will buy again
Front axle Ford Focus. Done 10k miles and has about 5mm tread left. Good in all conditions.
Unfortenately wery low stability. Feels like You got too low pressure. Did not help to use a bit hight pressure. Got it with the car. Would never buy it myselves.
Ford Focus estate 1600tdci 2014
Original equipment from new
Fronts lasted 22000 and replaced again after a further 22000 miles
Rears good tread depth of 4mm at 50000 but noise from rears sounded like a bad bearing which happily turned out to be the tyres
So relatively good wear factors
Never tested to the limit of speed or fast cornering however

i drive a ford focus 2014 model, having done 25,000 miles i am now replacing both front tyres for the first time. excellent quality and wear from a non-aggressive driving style.
ford focus 16.ztec had 2 on front off car read reviews only had them on few days went out in heavey rain brill no proplems only cost 70 pound from tyre shoper 18 POUND CHEAPER than natinal tyrers thats per tyre so a saveing off 36 pound and you get free tyre for life gurantee dont bee fooled in to paying for exspensive tyers dont think they for a performance cars STEVE GORMAN 51
Bought as a replacement for the back two on the car
The gentleman in the tyre yard said they were of similar standard to the ones on the front, found out later they weren't and this was a genuine mistake by the tyre fitter who rectified the problem.
Car was slippery in the dry on any change of cambre and I dare not take it out in the wet. Noisy and bumpy on the motorway, they were on the car for five days before I had them upgraded to something a bit better.
Pay the extra £20 per tyre and get something decent
