im lookin to get me some new tires, just wondering what most of you are running on your focus.

ive got stock rims, thinkin about going with a 225/40/17... should be enuff room in the wells to fit that. make it look a lil more stocky lookin with a wider tire, not to mention hella grip in turns

I would not go any bigger than 215 on the stockers..you are saying you want "hella grip"...stick with a tire size that is not too big for the wheel and that will fit it properly. JMO.:thumbsup:

the only difference is the width of the tire..its only right at about 3/8" wider if that, and the side wall is lower also. so i doubt it would rub or anything. i just think a wider tire would look beefier. i could roll the fenders a little to stop that anyhow. thats the easy part. finding a tire and tread pattern i like is the hard part!

I get a lot of rubbing. Would like to go 40 profile with 225 for a wider look. Would 40 help that much with rubbing? And which company offers nice 225/40R17 tires. I ride on General UHP and I don't think they have them, have to jump to 235 is that too wide? Also does 225 fit stock rim nicely?

Thanks guys
