Winter Tire Package for Ford Focus RS

The new 2016 Ford Focus RS is offering a factory winter tire package that can be added onto any factory built Focus RS. This is the first car company to offer this type of add-on in North America. Many people are raving about what a great addition it is for their sporty Focus RS. Ford dealers across the U.S., including Utah, are offering this great winter option for new Focus RS car buyers to increase the car’s safety in these unpredictable winters. 

The winter-tire option for the 2016 Focus RS will increase the car’s grip in snow, ice and cold weather. The cost of the package is $1,995 and can be purchased at Ford dealers in America. The package includes aluminum wheels that are slightly narrower to fit the factory snow tires. The snow tires themselves are light grey color on the tread to help hide the grime that builds up during the winter months. 

The entire winter-tire package is specifically weighted for the Focus RS to increase the vehicle's handling capabilities in the slick conditions. Also included in the package, tire-pressure sensors to make it easier for drivers to know if the tires need more air. Tire pressure can fluctuate in winter months because of the cold weather. These sensors will increase the car’s safety and tread. 

Ford dealers in Canada are offering the winter package option standard with every Focus RS. In the states, like Utah, you must purchase it as an addition. The price is fairly reasonable and the dealership that you purchase the package from will store your summer tires for you.

This is the first ever standard snow tire package offered by an auto manufacturer in North America. These tires are specifically made for the Ford Focus and dealers will offer the summer tires to swap out during the warmer months. Car buyers in Utah and other cold states should look into this investment because it will improve the safety and handling of the Focus RS in cold weather. Having snow tires on your vehicle when it is cold will improve the vehicle’s grip and handling ability on slick roads.

The Focus RS is a great choice for the sensible driver who is concerned with safety and reliability. It has excellent handling capabilities in slick conditions and it was tested thoroughly in Michigan and Sweden. The new snow tire package is just one of the reasons that a car buyer should look into this sporty vehicle.
