Thanks Bob. I had a look and assuming that they are P6000 205/50 ZR16

Maybe I've been lucky and found a dealership who don't wack on a huge mark-up!

Anyway, thanks for the pointer to the site which has at least allowed me to get an example price.

All the best,

Simon

Ah, I think that I was too hasty ... I think that I can use the P6000

That is cheap. The P6000 195/55 R15 for my car are £57!! I wonder why the difference? Still, a lot cheaper than Kwik Fit.

Are different makes of tyres fitted to different models of Focus? My 2004 TDCI has Goodyears on it.

My 2001 UK model has Firestone Firehawk 700 "fuel saver" tyres. Nine months ago they were £80 for a pair of exact replacements from one of the smaller tyre replacement companies. The price included. new valves, balancing, VAT etc.

Unfortunately the tyres are a little noisy on some road surfaces in some weather conditions.

See

for some tyre tests performed using the Focus.

Swiss Sport TDCis have Contacs mounted from the factory.

My last car '94 Probe used 205/55 R15 and were 50-75% more then the exact same brand model tire in a different size, was told that that was an 'odd' size, fewer of that size are made, so more expensive. Maybe the 195/50 is more common then 195/55.
