I was looking at the classifieds and found a set of Goodyear UltraGrip Ice tires. I have a set of these on my Taurus and love them. I priced these at Goodyear and they would cost me over $900 for 15" with steel rims for my Focus.
The 4 used Goodyears have been used for 2 winters but still have lots of tread left and they are only $100.
Does anybody know if I can mount 205/60/16 tires on my Focus and what it might do to my speedo reading?

becareful when they say 2 winters, ask for the DOT date on them. if the tires are too old then they would have lost thier Silica and they would be very slippery on ice.
DOT date should tell you the year and week the tires were made.
