Elsie Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi. Thinking very strongly about buying a 2 litre eb ST, probably on a 16 onwards plate (have seen 18s). Have sat in one, but not driven yet. Tell me about buying and living with one, please. Don't intend to modify it. Will be a rural car, probably not huge mileage but a few good A road trips possible. A functional car, not just for special occasions, but not used everyday. Any particular likes or dislikes, foibles, what fuels are best (petrol model), tyres (all season preferable), anything else I'd need to know? Buying wise, not seen any particular nasties noted, but anything that I should look out for? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Express do a thorough annual group test of the best all season tyres, the latest version can be found here. They usually test 16" tyres, which are smaller than the Focus ST tyres but with the larger sized tyres being part of the same product family as the 16s, I would have thought that the performance would be in the same ball park i.e. 16" versus 18".
