I just got an 18.900 bt quote from the ford garage for new tires.. seasons something. Just curious what are good tires for a ford focus and what kind of prices should i think about.

My Ford Focus came with Goodyear tires. Two out of four got bulges in the sidewalls and I replaced them with Maxxis. I then replaced the other two with Deestone after one of the the two Goodyears went flat. After a year or so, they have been fine. 18,900 for a set of tires sounds way too high. I would have bought two more Maxxis but a shop where I broke down didn't have Maxxis.

 

Either Maxxis or Deestone will cost about half of what Ford wants. I don't remember for sure but I think both brands were about 2,500 each.

Just go to somewhere like B-Quick ... they have quite a selection ...you can actually google their site.

 

They will try and sell you their most expensive tyres ... even then they will be considerably less than Fords quote.

Thanks, I will look for a B-quick around here, and i found the website and yes the prices are lower. Thanks a lot guys I am a total Noob about cars. Just smart enough not to go for the first offer without checking prices before.

Main dealer will always top you up. At B-quik you get a written guarantee....:smile:

 

You will get sales talk on other stuff, they will look at your bakes and point out if pads are low, just have a look yourself when it is up in the air if they mention it..:stoner:

The car just had a service yesterday.. so I will decline all other stuff. They mentioned the tires during the service at ford.

I usually use tyreplus. I've seen them stock mostly michelin and maxxis. Maybe others. I have michelin pilot sport 3, but there is now PS4 out. There were above 4400 each for 17" size. You can get cheaper, but I generally don't scrimp on tires.
