PEKIN, Ill. – Good news! We know you’ve been dreaming about
the all-new Ford Focus RS, and there’s even more to love about this vehicle
now. Ford just made us a little more anxious about the release date by announcing the optional Winter Tire Package for
the Focus RS.
The Winter Tire Package for the Focus RS is the ultimate
driving addition for fun in the snow. The package is the first ever winter tire
add-on that is offered through the original equipment manager in North America.
To create this package, new standards had to be put in place
for vehicle testing for quality assurance. When a vehicle is normally tested,
it goes through a bunch of trials with the production parts. Now, with the
winter package, it’s not only important that it can stand up to harsh
temperatures but it needs to perform well in the snow too.
Ford engineers took the Focus RS, with the full winter tire
package, to Northern Michigan and Sweden for quality testing. The RS went
through a number of procedures that tested every setup and snowy condition any
other set of winter tires would be tested on.
After all the testing, Ford picked a 225/40R18 Michelin
Pilot Alpin PA4 tire that is mounted to a 18x7.5-inch wheel. The great news for
those interested in this package is that it won’t change the fierce, sporty style of
the current RS because the tires actually look very alike. Even better news –
the tires make it possible for drivers to add chains to the tires if they so
choose.
