Second generation Ford Focus in Russia has gained extraordinary popularity - a car in good condition still has a good price tag on secondary market. High quality assembly, practical interior and acoustic comfort - these are the parameters thanks to which the second Focus has gained a lot of fans. Nevertheless, all the advantages of the model can be nullified by simply installing a set of low-grade rubber ...

How to choose the right tires

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The 2nd generation Ford Focus platform allows you to install tires of a fairly large size, which allows you to independently adjust the handling and height of the car body. From the factory on the Ford Focus can be installed:

• 195/65R15;
• 205/55R16;
• 205/50R17;
• 225/45R17.

Also wheelbase suggests the possibility of installing wheels of size 225/40 R18 after minor tuning, which consists in installing autobuffers under the front shock absorbers and arch extensions.

At the same time, for stable controllability of the vehicle, it is necessary to maintain the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer. According to the automaker's regulations, for tires with a radius of R16 and R17, air in the chambers must be pumped up to a mark of 3.1 atmospheres, for R15 rubber - no more than 2.8.

If the rubber is pumped above the recommended mark, the car may grind on the ground or slip on the asphalt when driving on high speed. Also, in the event of a sharp temperature drop, for example, when the ramp is heated from the sun's rays, it seriously increases the risk of rubber rupture.

TOP 5 summer tires

When choosing summer tires for family or personal car attention must be paid to handling and acoustic comfort.

For a tenacious grip on the road surface with a tire, the rubber must have a directional tread pattern and channels for moisture removal, for a low noise level, the softness of the outer layer. The most popular options in the Russian Federation that meet these requirements are the following models:

• Rosava Quartum S49 - the main advantages of this model are considered high exchange rate stability and increased grip when in contact with any dry surface. Rubber without problems withstands high speed or sudden temperature changes. The initial cost of tires of this model in the Russian Federation starts from 3,800 rubles;
• Premiorri Solazo - The tread pattern of this rubber provides the proper level of grip on both dry and wet roads. Also, among the pluses of tires, the presence of protection against impacts and cuts is clearly distinguished due to the compaction of the material used to mold the outer layer of rubber - tires have an increased service life. The cost of the model in the Russian Federation starts from 3,500 rubles;
• Aplus A606 - the advantage of the model is the presence of an equidirectional tread pattern and 8 side and front channels for moisture removal. The Aplus A606 rubber completely prevents the risk of aquaplaning even when braking hard in a puddle, making it ideal for use on a wet track. The initial price of tires on the market is 3,100 rubles;
• Kama Breeze is a budget model of rubber for passenger vehicles, which has side seals and moisture-wicking channels on the sides and working surface of the tire. The average cost of one tire per Russian market starts from 2,900 rubles;
• Cordiant Road Runner is a popular example that is designed for use on asphalt pavement. Rubber has resistance to rapid abrasion when driving at high speed, and also does not make noise and keeps the car evenly on the track. The cost of 1 tire starts from 2,750 rubles.

This is interesting! Before purchasing rubber, it is imperative to check the product for authenticity - recently, more and more counterfeit products sold under well-known brand names have begun to appear on the Russian market.

TOP 5 winter tires

When choosing tires for the winter, it is necessary to take into account the coefficient of adhesion of the tire to the road surface both on a snowy track and on rolled ice.

Among popular models winter tires for Ford Focus in the Russian Federation stand out clearly:

• Sunny SN600 - The symmetrical tread pattern is designed for use on paved surfaces, but the rubber also shows grip on snowy surfaces. The material used in the manufacture of rubber allows you to reach speeds of up to 210 km / h with a load of 750 kg. The cost of a tire starts from 2,700 rubles;
• Belshina ArtMotion Snow – a budget option from a domestic manufacturer. Of the advantages, it is worth highlighting a high coefficient of adhesion, regardless of the type of road surface. Not suitable for dynamic driving, the cost starts from 2,500 rubles;
• Rosava WQ-102 - studded winter tires, which provides directional stability and high acoustic comfort. The directional tread pattern contributes to high handling on the track. Price in the Russian Federation - from 2,300 rubles;
• Premiorri Via Maggiore - the presence of spikes, a directional tread pattern and moisture channels provide controllability and a tenacious grip on the surface. An ideal budget option for a couple of seasons, the cost is 1,900 rubles per tire;
• Kama Freeze - the option is popular due to its low cost, but is not suitable for dynamic driving. The main advantage of tires is the good quality of the spikes and resistance to temperature extremes. The cost in the Russian market starts from 1,750 rubles per tire.

Note! It is strictly not recommended to consider used tires for the winter. Lack of information about real mileage and method of storage does not allow us to evaluate the real performance characteristics tires - it is quite possible that elite, but used tires may not provide the proper level of grip from the working surface on the track.

How it works and how to turn off the air pressure sensor

The tire pressure display system works on the principle of measuring the force acting on inside tires, on the sensor near the rubber nipple. This equipment allows you to monitor the condition of tires in real time, which contributes to safer movement.

On Ford Focus 2 generations in the menu on-board computer there is no function of software shutdown of the pressure control system. If you need to disable the accessory, you will have to dismantle the sensors themselves, located in the nipple area between the tire and the rim, and then turn off the process of monitoring the system in the BC using diagnostic equipment.

Note! In the case of only mechanical dismantling of the air pressure sensors on dashboard The Ford Focus 2 will light up a malfunction check, which, if there are associated errors, can even disable the ability to ignite the engine. If necessary, turn off the pressure sensors, a rational solution would be to contact a specialized center.

A well-chosen set and wheel size for an energetic Ford Focus car will give it not only additional beauty and aesthetics, but also improve dynamic performance. Each owner of a Focus car has the opportunity to purchase alloy wheels with the same diameter, rim and offset as the standard wheels installed at the factory.

You can also make a small restyling and install more wide wheels with the smallest overhang. As a result, Ford will look more original and slightly increase its dynamic performance and stability on the track.

There is almost always Alternative option replacement of a standard wheel and disk with analogs with large sizes rims. Ideally, after that while riding on vehicle there shouldn't be any problems.

More massive wheels as a result "require" the use of wide tires, and they contribute not only to improving dynamic performance, but also to a high level of braking, respectively, the driver can feel calm even with aggressive driving.

The car owner must independently make a choice in favor of certain wheel sizes. Immediately before choosing and installing, you must carefully study the main parameters recommended by the car manufacturer:

• rims;
• bolt pattern;
• departure;
• wheel size.

The specified parameters must correspond to the characteristics of the vehicle. If certain problems arise when installing wheels with non-standard parameters, then it is better to contact experienced maintenance specialists for help.

Detailed specifications of wheel, tire and rim sizes for the Focus 1 and 2 model

Based on ET overall departures for rims Ford, maximum deviation from standard size should not exceed +/-5 mm.

The disk size implies the optimal width of the product in relation to the tire no more than 20-30%. As a rule, tuning enthusiasts and ordinary drivers do not always pay special attention for these indicators.

Many manufacturers began to produce various non-standard rims, regardless of the width and height parameters. In addition, with proper use of a wider disc, handling performance will improve.

But only if tires and wheels with identical dimensions are used. For example, tires with a width of 185 mm are perfectly combined with rims 205 7J, 205 6J, 195 6J.

On Russian Ford Focus configurations, factory tires with a high profile were installed as standard, in contrast to identical models produced in foreign factories.

This allows you to install any tires, according to the specified instructions from the manufacturer, depending on the wishes and block control settings.

Factory specifications from Ford:

1. the total number of bolts for installing the wheel is 4;
2. central diameter of fasteners -108 mm; in the designation 4/108;
3. the dimensions of the diametrical holes for landing the wheel under the hub are 63.3 mm, d63.3 is indicated.

If you use holes with smaller diameters, then the wheel cannot be installed on the hub. For diametrical holes with large values, it is necessary to use special adapter rings.

Standard disc sizes

As for the question of whether the fender liner will not cling, here it is necessary to observe the optimally recommended wheel parameters and install tires with a lower profile.

For example, 205/50/R16 tires can be used, but they do not guarantee uniform quiet ride- problems may arise at the moment of hooking the fender liner.

It is best to use 195/65/R15 tires as the wheels are slightly taller with them, which improves handling performance.

The most popular and popular tire sizes for Ford Focus 1 and 2:

• 195/65/R15;
• 185/70/R14;
• 205/50/R16;
• 185/65/R14;
• 195/55/R15.

If we are talking about ET indicators, then for cast and stamped wheels they are completely different. A lower overhang value indicates a wider track.

Also note that the locks and nuts for factory auto disks have a difference. The main thing is the design and form. The conical corners of the working areas are adjacent to the working disk surface. Nuts on stampings have a smaller angle and, accordingly, do not adhere so strongly to the product.

Therefore, experienced specialists do not recommend using stamping nuts as fasteners on castings. Too small area of ​​contact with the work surface, which means poor fastening for the auto disk. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that each tightening of the nut will gradually correct contact with the working surface.

To check the coupling of a new disc to the calipers, the following procedures must be performed:

1. install it on the valve;
2. fasten the nuts to the hub;
3. fully spin the disk.

Wheel bolt pattern Ford Focus 2, 3

Example: wheel bolt pattern on Ford Focus cars with parameters 5/108. Many car lovers may have problems with the designation of these numbers. Therefore, we indicate their decoding in more detail:

1. the number 5 indicates the total number of diametrical holes for wheel fasteners;
2. the number 108 indicates the size of the diameter of these holes.

Disk offset on Focus 2 and 3 models:

1. standard size is 52.5 mm;
2. wheel offset on reystayling is 50 mm.

For beginners, departure is a rather complicated and difficult concept. If to speak in simple terms, then disc reach indicates the total distance from the middle of the product to the main area of ​​the fasteners located on the hub.

• R15/195/65;
• R16/205/55.

The letter R stands for the radius of the wheel.

Wheel bolt pattern for Focus 3

The general parameters of the 3rd generation of the Focus are practically the same as similar models 5/108.

Wheels for 3rd Edition Ford Focus

The third release of the famous Focus model was implemented in 2010. The car was presented at the famous salon in Detroit. The vehicle was presented in several bodies: sedan, station wagon and hatchback.

It is known that the Ford Focus is still one of the most sought after cars in the world. Sales are growing every year, and fans of this car are satisfied with its ease of operation and stylish design.

The American manufacturer achieved such results due to the high ratio between quality and cost.

In addition, the 3rd edition of the cars was made in kinetic design. Many admired the originality and uniqueness of this car. On the track, the Focus demonstrates excellent performance and indicators of control, acceleration and stable ride.

Good handling on the vehicle is achieved through an improved balance between rims and tires. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the main type of rubber and wheel parameters for optimal driving on the Focus 3.

Optimal wheel sizes

Each car produced by the American Ford line has certain wheel and tire sizes recommended by the manufacturers. Consider the main parameters necessary for good car handling:

1. Disc sizes: 16, 17 and 18 inches;
2. Tires 235/40/R18, 215/50R17, 205/55R16;
3. Disc width ET50, ET55.

Absolutely for everyone wheel sizes fasteners 5/108 with a central diametrical hole of 63.3 mm and a stud of 14.5 mm are used.

Taking into account the main indicators, everyone will be able to decide on the choice of a wheel for the Focus 3 model. As the best option recommends using original factory products or similar products from famous brands.

Branded models are more durable and reliable, since they are specially produced for a particular Focus model. This is a very important factor, even in a situation where the car runs into a deep hole or crack.

As a result, the wheel product is not deformed, and the driver continues to control the control of the vehicle.

Discs are selected according to the width of the tire, they must be identical. In most cases, an American company produces original factory stamps for Focus 3. Such discs are excellently used in difficult conditions and are of low cost.

In addition, when purchasing such wheels, you don’t have to worry about the size, since they automatically fit the standard Focus 3 wheels.

Subject to competent recommendations, a car lover should have no problems choosing a wheel size for a Ford Focus car. If desired, you can use non-standard models, but it will be necessary to slightly change the technical components of the vehicle.

If you need tires for Ford Focus 2, then you should take into account the season and weather in order to make right choice. You need to be careful, because the winter and summer options are fundamentally different in diameter, size, quality, characteristics and, of course, price.

It may seem that summer tires on the Ford Focus 2 does not differ much from the winter one, but it is not. Summer shoes do not have special spikes used in winter ones.

The purpose of both types is to ensure proper transport management, as well as the safety of its driver.

Depending on the time of year, the tasks facing the rubber also change. For example, in summer rains are of great danger, because of this, a special tread pattern is applied to summer shoes, which improves grip by removing moisture between the tire and the road to the side. Protectors have special wide channels through which water is discharged.

Winter tires, on the other hand, do not have this technology, which can cause danger when driving.

What tires are suitable for Ford Focus 2?

Ford Focus 2 is a widespread model in the CIS countries, and of course, Russia. This means that it will not be difficult to find the necessary spare parts, all kinds of accessories and rubber, as they are in demand. Basically Ford Focus 2 is equipped with 205/50R16 tires, but this size is quite rare, although it will not be difficult to find it, like any other tires for this model. Tire size often ranges from 195/65R15 to 205/55R1 models.

Toyo Proxes PX4 Plus

It is also worth considering that the quality of auto shoes depends on the company. It is recommended to use tires from Toyo, Yokohama, Goodyer, Kumho, Gislaved, Bridgestone. Dunpol or Nokian. These are firms with many years of experience and a large number of good reviews. All of them will provide you with good grip and high specifications even in heavy rains and other unfavorable weather. Many types of tires, for example, summer toyo tires Proxes PX4 Plus can also be used in winter, all this is an achievement of high-class engineers of the company.

For the Ford Focus, there is a huge selection of tires, including silent and demi-season. It's up to you to do optimal choice focusing on price, quality, features and product design.

Ford Focus car produced by the American by Ford Motor, began its history in Russia in the late 90s, and in the following decade gained a huge number of fans.

The second generation of this brand (2005-2011), with its compactness, convenience and reliability, only added credibility to it, and by 2010 the car received the status of the best-selling foreign car in the country, having received the Car of the Year award 2 years later.

Magic tricks flooded the whole country, especially since since 2008 they have been collected from us - in Vsevolozhsk near St. Petersburg. Let's consider in detail which wheels to put on the Ford Focus 2, and start with their parameters.

Wheel parameters

First, let's look at the sizes of wheels and tires that fit the Focus 2, depending on the modification.

The table shows the parameters of the wheels themselves, seat on the hub is the same everywhere - 63.4 mm.

Which nuts on the Ford Focus 2 wheels depends on which wheels will be installed on this machine. If cast or forged, the nut must be closed, as shown in the first photo below. For mounting stamped discs, nuts need short through. The thread pitch in both cases will be M12 * 1.5.

In order to prevent attackers from removing the wheels from your car, it would be good to buy a set of secret nuts. They are sold in sets of 4 pieces (one for each wheel), plus a special wrench, without which this nut can only be unscrewed at a tire shop.

Security nut kit

Note: Sometimes nuts are difficult to remove, and a problem may arise, for example, when you need to put a spare tire.

In this case, before removing the wheel, treat the joints with WD-40 spray, which should be present in the trunk of every car.

original discs

We figured out what sizes of disks for Ford Focus 2 are suitable. Now let's see what the most popular original models for this car can be bought today in stores.

Their disadvantage is the lack of aesthetic effect. It can be compensated by installing decorative caps, but they appearance, of course, incomparable with the design alloy wheels.

During the operation of the car, its owner faces many questions related to the choice of rubber. Which winter wheels to choose, which tires can be driven all year round, or how many years can summer tires be used?

Focus Wheel 2

All these questions require detailed answers, and we will try to provide them, covering all the most important criteria.

Seasonality and tread type

People who tend to buy one set of tires and not remove them for a year are the exception rather than the rule.

Most car owners still understand that a seasonal tire change is necessary. What tires are allowed to be used in winter in Russia, stipulated in the new edition technical regulations TR CU 018/2011.

Everyone has winter tires all-weather protector

Some are mistaken in thinking that an all-season, or universal, tire is intended for year-round use. And these terms just denote the type of tread.

Universal is an option for summer ride in off-road conditions. A deep pattern, which is called all-weather, makes it possible to well remove snow porridge and dirt from the contact patch.

Such a tread is present on all winter tires, and is also provided for some summer tires. Therefore, if the tire is not positioned as a winter non-studded (friction, Velcro), then it is summer.

At temperatures below +5 +7 degrees, it will harden and lose its properties, slide instead of braking on a wet or icy road.

On a summer tire, an all-season tread is made when it is designed for mud, or in sizes that are used by all-wheel drive SUVs, crossovers, light trucks.

Since Focus 2 is not one of them, summer tire for him you need to take with a highway tread. A directional tread always removes water more efficiently, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning, while an asymmetric tread provides better directional stability on wet roads.

Therefore, for regions where there is a lot of precipitation in summer, and it is more like autumn, this option is preferable.

Tire profile width and height

In general, the car owner does not need to invent anything, because each manufacturer provides several sizes (if possible) to replace wheels and tires.

These data are registered in the passport of the car, and you need to choose from them. Tires with different profile options can be put on a disk with a certain width.

• The width of the tire should match the width of the rim. This is important, as a tire that is narrower than necessary stretches excessively, which raises the risk of spontaneous removal from the rim.
• An overly wide tire forms a kind of ugly "fungus", which should not be either. Small variations of these parameters are allowed, but in everything you need to know when to stop.
• More wide tire usually set for the summer, as it has an increased contact area with the road. But with an increase in the width of the tire profile, the probability of planning a car in water also increases. Therefore, narrower tires are usually put on for the winter, which, by the way, makes driving through snowdrifts easier.

Remember also that the wider the rubber profile, the heavier it is, which affects driving performance and results in increased fuel consumption. In addition, it is also more expensive, so deliberately increasing the width of the profile, if this is not a sports option - Ford Focus II RS, does not make sense.

If the profile width is displayed in millimeters, then the height is displayed in percentage from width. The higher the profile, the more comfortable it is to ride, and the more resistant the wheel is to punctures.

But the low profile gives better directional stability and handling, and looks at cars more interesting. Therefore, many try to put low-profile tires at least for the summer.

In order not to reduce the height of the car as a whole, it is possible to maintain balance when reducing the profile by increasing the diameter of the wheels. That is, if Focus has a profile size of 205/55 in the 16th radius, then in the 17th it will be 205/50. The width is the same, but the profile is lower.

Tire life

How to determine the year of manufacture of a tire by marking - 09 week, 07 year

It remains to answer the question of how long tires can be stored from the date of manufacture. By Russian standards the manufacturer is required to provide a five-year warranty on car tire subject to her correct operation. After this period, he will no longer accept any claims.

This is the period you need to be guided by if you buy a tire domestic production. If at the time of sale it has been in stock for a long time, you will not have a warranty period at your disposal.

Although if the tire has been properly stored and does not have a network of cracks on the surface, it is quite possible to ride on it. In stores, such rubber is usually sold at a markdown.

In Europe, a 10-year warranty is given for a passenger tire, as well as for a truck one. So if it is written on the wheels that they are made in Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, France, then you can safely take the models that have been in the warehouse for several years.

Just get five wheels at once for your Ford Focus 2. The lineup manufacturers often change, and if necessary, after a while to buy one more wheel, a problem may arise.

Reading 7 min.

In our time, Ford Focus 2 is a very popular car. Moreover, at many exhibitions and competitions, this car takes pride of place and continues to be considered quite popular in the CIS countries. But at the same time, it is worth noting that the size of the disks for this car can be different - there is a standard size, and there are those that have already been invented by enthusiasts and just users. What wheel sizes are suitable for Ford Focus 2 every driver should know this car mobile.

For what? For example, you want to buy some new rims for your favorite car, but you don't know the size. In this case, non-standard models can be easily sold to you in various markets, which then simply cannot be returned. Or you decide to simply update your car, in other words, to perform a restyling, in which case you also need to know what to buy. It is also worth noting that some tire sizes that are not designed for the Ford Focus 2 may also fit this car. In any case, what wheel size Ford Focus 2 has is necessary and even extremely important for every owner of this car to know. Although the system there is quite simple, you do not need to sit for a long time and study all the necessary parameters. For this reason, we can safely say that everyone, even a novice driver, can easily perform restyling.

Wheel size information: specifications

It’s worth mentioning right away that there is a set of wheel sizes that are advised by the manufacturer itself. That is, you definitely won’t find it better than what the manufacturer himself offers. There are also wheel sizes that will just fit a second Ford Focus. There are also individual sizes and specific rim models or even rims with tires that will fit the Ford Focus 2.

Factory rim sizes

So, in this case, it is immediately worth noting that there are different sizes of disks. In general, as you know, there are rubbers 195/65-R15 and 205/55-R16 (radius, respectively, 15 and 16 inches). For the first type of tires, the following dimensions are characteristic:

• 6JR15;
• 5×108;
• ET52.5;
• DIA 63.3.

The following models have the second disk sizes:

• 6.5JR16;
• 5×108;
• ET52.5;
• DIA 63.3.

As for how each of these disk sizes stands for, we'll go into that a bit further. In general, it is immediately worth noting that, despite the designations that are a little incomprehensible at first glance, it will be quite easy to determine what size disks can be supplied for your Ford Focus 2.

Non-factory rim sizes

As mentioned above, there are some wheel sizes that are not manufactured by the factory, but they can be easily found and bought at most car markets. This is especially true for specialized online stores that sell parts only for ford focus 2. In addition, they can be purchased on various forums or even on hand. So, these dimensions look like this:

• 6JR15;
• 5×108;
• ET52.5;
• DIA 63.3.

Of course, this tire size is nowhere near as good for the standard Ford Focus 2 wheels. But if you are still at a crossroads - which size to choose - their price will become an argument in favor of these models. Most often, this size of disks will cost much less than standard factory models. Again, this size is perfect for Ford tires focus 2.

At the same time, there are no features regarding the installation of tires of this size. You can install them in exactly the same way as regular factory wheel sizes. Of course, in any manipulations with the ford focus 2 there are certain features, including this one. But it certainly will not cause any difficulties, there is no doubt about it.

As you can see, the tire size in the second Ford Focus has certain codes, and it would be useful to figure out how to decipher them. After all, in order to understand what specific dimension you need, you need to know their value. Everything in this respect is extremely simple.

Size chart

So, the dimension of the wheels is deciphered as follows.

1. The first number (maybe 6 or 5J) is the width of the rim. In this case, inches are used, not centimeters. This is extremely important to keep in mind when choosing a wheel or wheels in general.
2. The second part (R15 or R16) is already the diameter. This value is also measured in inches.
3. Further, drilling is indicated - the number of holes intended for fastening the wheels and through the symbol "x" their diameter around the hub hole. For example, 4x107.
4. After that, a value called overhang is indicated. It is usually indicated in millimeters (this is extremely important to remember). In the above examples, this value can be seen under the designation "ET52.5".
5. Next, you can see the diameter of the hole for the hub. This value is also indicated in millimeters. In the examples that can be seen above, this dimension is indicated, for example, as "DIA63.3".
6. Then comes the tire width. There are only two options here - 195 or 205 millimeters. Again, it is important that this value does not change in inches.
7. The penultimate value in this cipher is the height of the tire. Here we use inches and not centimeters, but percentages of the width. Also, there are only two options - 55 or 65%.
8. Finally, the last value in this code is the landing diameter. Here, again, everything is indicated in inches. Maybe 15 or 16 inches.

In the Ford Focus 2 there is such a thing as reach. This refers to the distance from the platform for fasteners to the longitudinal axis of the disk. This tire parameter can be found very infrequently and the Ford Focus 2 is one of the few such models. The dimension of the disk just affects this parameter.

How to choose the size of the disk?

Of course, there are quite a few such wheels. In some cases, even independent production disk. The main thing in this case is that the dimensions match. It is also important that all of the above parameters are the same as for factory models. In principle, the truth is that with "properly growing" hands, it is quite possible to make a Ford wheel out of any other. If the dimension of the disk will match, then why not?

Exist forged wheels from domestic manufacturers, and there are also alloy wheels (casting) from foreign companies. Which of these is better? It is rather difficult to say because we always give preference to something “overseas” and domestic products did not even receive a full-fledged opportunity to prove themselves. But, based on practice, our VSMPO Orion is not worse than the same ZEPP Bologna. Moreover, the dimension of one and the other disk is completely the same. Moreover, even they all have the same color - “silver”, and in some cases you cannot distinguish two disks standing next to each other from each other.

In this regard, it is also worth remembering that all these types are replicas, that is, to put it simply, copies (“replica” just sounds somehow more formal and interesting from a marketing point of view). That is, they all simply copy the appearance of the official factory edition. As for quality, it’s hard to say for sure which of all this is better - a replica or an original - no one will give a definite answer. Of course, the original has a guarantee from the manufacturer, has all the necessary trademarks and trade marks, there is promotion and high-quality marketing, but will it last longer than a copy? No one will give an unequivocal answer to this question, because no one has tested this parameter, no one has asked the drivers themselves about it. Therefore, look at your wallet condition - if it allows, it is better, of course, to take the original, but some replicas are definitely not worse.

Of course, the big question is how good the copy will be. There are, for example, cast varieties rim, which will last no more than a year, while others will work correctly for many years and the driver will not even remember this problem. So, according to one testimonial of a driver, the SCAD Apogee Selenium model worked for him for only a few months, after which the paint began to peel off, terrible scratches and many more various defects became clearly visible. At the same time, a foreign replica, which, by the way, is called REPLICA FD10 silver, served for three years, after which, due to an accident, it simply needed to be replaced. That is, no one will give you a clear answer which tires are better to choose, choose what is more suitable for your wallet. And the sizes are standard, factory, but the replicas have exactly the same parameters, so they will also fit your Ford.
