I have done an enormous amount of research on tires and all the manufacturing processes. I have come to a few conclusions regarding the focus:

1) The focus is not a high performance car no matter what you've done to it, therefore get something that will provide adequate traction and that will last long.

2) Spending a ton of money on brand name tires isn't always the way to go.

3) Eagle RS-A is a complicated tire designed by Goodyear that has a soft compound and doesn't provide any traction.


I have Ventus (made by Hankook) K-102 on my car and they perform just as well as my Pirelli SP9000's did. The only difference was that my Pirelli's were worth twice as much and the Ventus' last longer.

The best rated tires on the market that would fit our cars are probably one of the following two:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2:



Goodyear Eagle GS-D3:




I would take the Goodyear's over the Michelin's because they have a better wet traction rating and longer treadlife. But the best tire ever created are the Michelin Veyrons. Specially made for the 1001bhp Bugatti Veyron, these were the only tires that could stand up to it's blistering top speed.
