I'm getting these tires but I need to know how soft they are I know kuhmo's are niceeeee tiress http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ZR16...16&hash=item19c7b09dca...................what do you guys think?

 

[badazz2010focus]

the kuhmo kh16's have served me well but tis time to move on

 

[Kipp]

haven't used those specifically, but in my experience kuhmos are ok. not a bad price for a new set though. why that size though? stock is 205/50, if you want to go wider go with a 215/45 to keep the same overall diameter or will screw with the accuracy of the speedo.

I like the nexen tires (although they can be a lil hard to find lately). I've run them a few times in a couple different sizes and always been happy. I use the N5000 as they are an all season

 

[badazz2010focus]

thanks I appreciate it

 

[badazz2010focus]

I'd be running the n3000 well because we dont have snow down here LMAO i need as much traction as I can get for taking them corners!

 

[badazz2010focus]

how much would it throw my speedo off?

 

[badazz2010focus]

I cant find 215 45 anywhere I mean I can but it seems like a pretty rare size, every one I found is expensve.

 

[badazz2010focus]

$333.00! for 1 tire on a Ford Focus? WOW!

 

[badazz2010focus]

LOL no for four tires

 

[john m.]

LOL no for four tires

That's a relief! For a min. there I thought you had a Lamborghini!

 

[badazz2010focus]

ROFL i found 4 205 45 r16's on cwo's website and they are kuhmo performance tires too.

I can tell you that 215/45/16 is almost impossible to find. I tried to get some for my Shadow for about 6 months before I gave up and went with 205/55/16.

If you have a little more money to spend get Kumho Ectsa LE Sport tires. They have a Treadwear of 280 and grip like stink.

 

[badazz2010focus]

yeah but they only last for like 10,000 miles LOL!

 

[drunkyoda]

anything with a low tread rating doesnt last as long but if you go harder you give up performance.

 

[save_HUTCH]

yeah but they only last for like 10,000 miles LOL!

Actually they are better than that. My brother has them on his MKV GTI. His car is not stock at all. He put 5000 miles on them without a rotation and yea the fronts were worn (260 hp will do that) but the rears were like new, and he and I both dont drive slow. I say they will last 30,000 miles or more on a conservative driven Focus.

 

[badazz2010focus]

I'm very very aggressive

 

[save_HUTCH]

so about 20,000 then, in his car with 260 hp it is hard to not play around once in a while.

 

[badazz2010focus]

so i am getting those tires
