How many Focus ST owners on here

Thx
Are you on the Collins Facebook group by any chance.

I am indeed.

I don't have trouble putting power down, I do get the odd wheel spin but nothing major. Horrendous torque steer though!

420bhp... just... I...

I find it a handful with 295.

What tyres are you running on your St's? My Pilot sport 3's are almost out of life and i was wondering what you all recommend.

 

[Phil W]

I had Uniroyal Rainsport 3's and they were brilliant. I know people say they are "ok" because they are a cheap tyre, but I found them to be excellent in all conditions.

I'm owed premium tyres by Ford for the mess they made of my purchase. So I'm not really fused as to what the cost is but some tell me the ps4 or the as3 tyres. The as3 tyres are a lot cheaper. Has anyone tried both?

 

[Tute]

Conti CS5

 

[daz_f]

Goodyear F1 AS3

 

[chaparral]

My ST still has the Goodyear F1 tyres it came with

 

[Liquidfox]

AS3s are crap in anything but perfect dry weather. I've got PS4s on the rear so can't say until they're on the front.

I've had Goodyear Eagle AS2's on my 2 sets of wheels for last few years and been happy with them - was looking at going to the AS3's when I put a new set on the 19's in a few months

I was under the impression that AS3's are great in everything but perfect dry weather, is that not the case?

Right.... Being anal here but I'd just like to correct my earlier post (#2377).

Thanks very much for this. It's my wifes car and I have not had the time look into it, but it was irritating every time I drove it.

Will have to have a play using the points you made one evening.

She did call me an idiot for not spotting the 'disp' button by the CD player, but in my defence who uses the CD player these days with the USB option and phone sync?

I still use the CD player a lot...

It also much easier to just press the source button to change to the CD player then it is to change to a different album on the USB stick while driving..

Also ran these on my ST and had the same findings, I was very impressed for the 60 quid a corner they cost!

From my experience on the ST225, no. In the damp they leave a lot to be desired when compared to their predecessor.

Does anyone one know a close match to rock metallic wheels ('15 ST). I want to touch up a couple of small scratches before I get rid, but I can only find 1 place that sells it for £20. A touch up pen that Halfords could make up would be much more palatable

 

[Nasher]

There is a paint code for it if you phone Ford.

 

[chaparral]

OK Who has this Mountune upgrade or is getting it ?

 

[daz_f]

Nope but in the middle of getting my MK2 ST upto CP420

What power is your mk2 putting out now ?

Am trying to imagine what it would be like trying to get traction with over 400bhp going through the front wheels..
Am guessing 1st & 2nd would be useless due to wheel spin and maybe even 3rd gear would also suffer wheel spin (and that in the dry)
