Les meilleurs pneus pour la Ford Focus ST170

Pour une berline de performance FWD, ce pneu est vraiment bon pour cela.
Prix acceptable, bon retour sur route, bonne adhérence sur sol mouillé, excellente usure des pneus.
Mais le bruit est un peu gênant, surtout sur une route pas vraiment de bonne qualité.

Bought these tyres as I had 2 illegal tyres and the other 2 were very close to the legal limit and I was short on money so got these fitted for around £250.00 inc balancing, tracking etc.

I was nervous about them, but for 'budget' tyres they hold the road well and even going through shallow standing water hold their own. I drive on country roads and dual carriageways to get to work and the grip is excellent. I like to open my car up on the dual carriageway and it has always responded well to being driven hard on the bendy country roads. I get a decent amount of feedback from the tyres and they absorb the shallow pot holes well, without feeling to hard.

Bottom Line, if your in pinch and need some cheap tyres to tide you over then you can't do worse than a set of these.

Had these tyre previously on my st, They are an excellent tyre!
Compared with conti michelin and goodyear these are there abouts, Great dry handling, good in the wet, wear i found to be about the same as a conti/michelin etc. Great all around tyre, For the price at £67 a corner from CAMSKILL 225-45-17w these are a bargain!

These tyres are SUPERB! dry grip is outstanding wet grip is very very good, tyres are nice and comfortable ive had all the top tyres ove the years michelin conti etc and these are up there if not better!
Had these on offer from CAMSKILL for £162.40 for two delivered!
HIGHLY recommend these tyres!!

In dry it's okay,but in wet it just oversteers and understeers at the same time, so it's very hard to control.while taking corners it doesnt give you the trust of P zero.I fitted the neros because pirelli doesnt make regular p zero in this size. After regular p zero these tires are huge disappointment. Even toyo proxes t1r's were better in wet. Would never by again and will switch to michelin ps3.

Took ages for me to find a decent set of tyres on a budget but went for these instead of real cheap ones due to safety in the wet. Had continental sport contacts on the car originally which were superb all round and would love to have had them again so these in comparison don't do too bad considering price. Not had them long enough to comment on wear but for all other areas this tyre does the job. Not amazing but you feel safer and more confident than the cheap brands you never heard of. Comments mentioned about the noise is true, they are a bit more noisier than others but you can't have everything if you don't pay for it so I can settle with these purely for the what you get for your money. Very pleased.

The dealer I bought my car from put a brand new set of these when I purchased my car. I was skeptical at first since I had never even heard of Event tyres before. I must say they had pretty good durability - I had the assumption that they would only last around 10k miles but I finally changed the whole set after 43k miles in 3 years. As the tyres were included in the purchase price, I cannot comment on value for money.

Good points:

Durability exceeded my expectations.

The strength is quite good, where I live, the roads are littered with potholes after our unusally cold winter and as much as I tried avoiding them, I still managed to catch some nasty potholes. The good thing is that the tyres were not damaged.

Decent dry grip (for a somewhat budget tyre), offering a respectably sharp turn-in. I recently had a blast through the Black Mountain pass in the Brecon Beacons (the famous A4069 road) and these tyres gave me the confidence to press on.

Bad points:

Take extra care when driving in the wet! (seriously, at my local Tesco mini roundabout the car would understeer at 10 mph. Yes, 10mph off throttle.) However, it's a little better on bigger roundabouts where you don't need as much steering lock.

These tyres can also be unpredictable in the wet, nearly got killed (totally my fault) when cornering on a slip road to join the M40. I took the bend at 60mph at which point it understeered and when I corrected myself the rear end snapped, sending me into a lift-off oversteer 360 degrees. As I said, again it was stupid of me to go that fast when joining a motorway, but be warned and slow down when driving in the wet with these tyres. I drive an ST170, it doesn't have that much power compared with the fast cars of today, but the traction light comes on a lot in the wet when accelerating even at a sensible pace.

Motorway road noise is quite loud and you get droning sounds, so if you regularly go on long journeys, spend a little extra on something more comfortable.

Overall, they were reasonably ok I suppose, just not in the wet. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for - in my case since I didn't buy them as they were already on my car, but I would not buy them again.

I have replaced these with a set of Primewell PZ900 (apparently they are a subdivision of Firestone and they have a 'B' rating for wet grip according to the EU tyre label) - £279 for a set of 4, including valves, balancing, nitrogen filling and insurance. I will review that set after I accumulate enough mileage.

Tyre proved quite good when new but after a few miles the grip in the wet disapeared completely but lasted quite a while for a budjet tyre

What an absolutely useless tyre these are. I have purchased two cars in the last couple of years and have been unfortunate that both vehicles had these fitted. They are a dry road tyre, that is it, show them a wet road and ask them to grip and they will refuse, and you don't need to be pushing them either. Theses tyres are absolute crap, they are only fit to have chimps hanging from them!!

I have done 12000 miles with these tyres on the front and have been very pleased with all aspects. These tyres still have plenty of life in them and have just been rotated to the back and a new set of N1000`s on the front. For a budget tyre these Nexens really do take a lot of hard use and always have given a premium performance. The Focus is going as I have an S-Max 240bhp on order , I hope the Michelins give as good a performance on that as whoever gets the Focus on the Nexen. Do not be put off by the brand these tyres are as good as the best.
