dsrogan Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just replaced my OEM Michelin Pilot Sport 3's (235/40x18 W95) with Avon ZZ5s and I thought I had gone deaf!!, road noise so dramatically reduced and they were a lot cheaper too. The ride seems a lot smoother as well :) got 24,000 out of the fronts and 31,000 from the rears - is that good?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kye Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've got a couple of Falkens on the front of mine. Great tyre! My Focus has never handled this well before! Bags of grip and even more precise steering. It feels twitchy compared to how it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 having wheels tracked/aligned properly will make a massive difference on how a car behaves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kye Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yep. I get them done with each tyre change and every few months or so. Never had this much fun though. Falken might become my top brand. Just need to see what they're like in the wet and being pushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRookie Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I;ve got Hankook Optimo 4S on my CC. This Tuesday took the car to a race track - what a grip these tyres got! Unbelievable. :) Guess this was the first Focus CC in the living history driven on a race track. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
