Thanks for the advice, I did a bit of searching...as of now, I haven't found any competition compound tires that are the same size as my stock tires which is 215/45/R17
I would consider a 225/40/R17...but I haven't located any that size either...would the 225/45/R17's be too tall?
Leonard...your right about the wheels, I think going with the stock SVT wheels that seems as though it would be a good idea. Ford sells them for $150 each, though I've heard I can get them for $115-$125 each. Do you all think thats a good deal? I suppose I'd get teh "Euro" SVT Focus wheels for autox duty, just for something different. Right now I am just shopping around...though I'd really like to have something within the next 2 to 3 months.
Any other pointers would be apprecieated.
