It is a myth that you only need winter tires on the front. That becomes apparent when you spin out on an offramp when your back end slides out on you.
Save yourself some money. Unless you have aftermarket oversized rotors, you should be able to fit 15's. The snow tires are way cheaper, you only get 2-3 seasons out of snow tires, that way when they wear down you replace them.
Having wide low profile snow tires defeat the purpose of having snows, the bigger contact patch of a low-profile tire doesn't push through the snow to contact the road as well.
It's winter, not a good time to race. Equip yourself to make it through the winter with the Focus in one piece.
