front bumper colour match is lol'worthy like most ST's that arn't in red/blue/pb. The early green RS's are the worst. I had a deposit one and cancelled it, went for performance blue as they are always pretty much perfect for some reason.

I'm glad I went for a PFL, push-button thefts would have kept me awake at night.
ok thanks- thats not bad at all - very good for the performance
cheers
prob different/less sensitive on the STs- but can the stability control do some strange things on the Focuses ?
I drove the Focus Ecoboost I picked up the other day - was going round a roundabout that is local to me applied a bit of gas on exit - and unlike my previous ancient car with no stability control (but had LSD) which worst case would give a bit of understeer - the new car seemed to suddenly do its own thing and instead of tightening up the line actually seemed to chuck me to the left. Maybe it thought I was in a skid ??? Possible the amount of grit from gritters etc had made the surface bad - not sure, or maybe as a Turbo'd engine the sudden torque unsettled the car. I was not going very fast at all (way under speed limit).
that said - been out on country lanes today and it seems to handle the twisties really really well
softer than I thought when I test-drove at the dealers though ... but seems very nippy for a non-sporty version
I've been getting good mileage and performance with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2's on my ST 2.5 - can't say exactly how suited they'd be for the mk3 but generally they get pretty high ratings across lots of different cars. Running them on both the standard 18" wheels and also my 19" Oz's.Hi guys, not a Focus ST owner myself but my old man is. He has a 2012 ST3 and he's looking at replacing his current tyres with new (obviously).
Seems as I cannot get onto the Ford forums to look without signing up I thought I would ask here.
What seems to be the best tyres out there at the minute to suit this car, I have Michelin Pilot Sports on my BMW (please don't attack me) which are fantastic but I don't believe they fit the ST3's wheels?
Thanks in advance.

Crazy times ahead looks like my car is going this week and I'm gonna be quick fire viewing some ST's. 6500ish budget.
Can peeps give me a real quick run down of stuff to look for, I will read through the thread when not working for detailed info, need make a check list quick![]()
