Using automatic selection of tires and discs for the car Ford Focus. A variety of problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of automakers can be avoided. After all, these components have a huge impact on a number of operational characteristics of the vehicle, ranging from manageability and ending with dynamic qualities. In addition, tires and wheels in modern car are one of the elements active security. That is why their choice should be approached as responsibly, i.e., with knowledge about a number of parameters of these components.
Unfortunately, or, on the contrary, fortunately a significant part of motorists prefers not to study technical device own car thoroughly. However, automatic system The selection will be extremely useful, regardless of this, since it will minimize the likelihood of incorrect selection of wheeled wheels or tires. And choose from anything, thanks to the widest assortment of such products presented in the Mosavtranshina online store.
Second generation Ford. Focus in Russia has acquired extraordinary popularity - a car in good condition still has a good price tag on secondary market. High quality assembly, practical salon And acoustic comfort - these are the parameters, thanks to which the second focus has acquired a lot of fans. Nevertheless, all the advantages of the model can be reduced simply installed a set of low-grade rubber ...
How to choose rubber
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!
The Ford Focus 2 generation platform allows you to set the rubber of a fairly extensive size, which allows you to independently adjust the controllability and height of the car body. From the factory on Ford Focus can be installed:
- 195/65 R15;
- 205/55 R16;
- 205/50 R17;
- 225/45 R17.
Also, the wheel base involves the possibility of installing the wheels of the size of 225/40 R18 after a minor tuning, which consists in installing the autofaths under the front shock absorbers and arches expansion.
At the same time for stable control vehicle It is necessary to maintain the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer. According to the regulation of the automaker for the tires, the radius R16 and R17 in the chambers of the air should be pumped to 3.1 atmospheres, for R15 rubber - no more than 2.8.
In the case of rubber pumps above the recommended mark, the car can be grinding on the ground or slip on the asphalt when driving at high speed. Also, in the case of a sharp temperature drop, for example, when heating the slope from sunlight, seriously increases the risk of rubber break.
Top 5 Summer Tires
When choosing summer rubber for family or personal car It is required to pay attention to handling and acoustic comfort.
For chain grab road coat With a tires, rubber should have a directional pattern of the tread and channels for moisture removal, for low level Noise - softness of the outer layer. The most popular options in the Russian Federation satisfying these requirements are the following models:
- Rosava Quartum S49 - the main advantages of this model consider high coursework stability and increased grip when contacting any dry surface. Rubber without problems withstands a greater speed or sharp temperature differences. The initial cost of the tires of this model in the Russian Federation begins from 3,800 rubles;
- PREMIORRI SOLAZO - a tread pattern of this rubber provides a proper level of clutch both on dry and wet road. Also, among the plus of tires, the presence of protection against shots and cuts is distinguished brightly, due to the sealing of the material used for casting the outer layer of rubber - the tires have an increased resource of operation. The cost of the model in the Russian Federation begins from 3,500 rubles;
- APLUS A606 - the advantage of the model can be called the presence of an equalized pattern of the tread and 8 side and facial channels for moisture removal. Rubber APLUS A606 completely warns the risk of aquaplaning, even with a sharp braking in a puddle, which is perfect for operation on 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 plug-in channels on the sides and the working surface of the tire. The average value of one tire on russian market starts from 2,900 rubles;
- Cordiant Road Runner is a popular sample, which is designed for operation on asphalt coating. Rubber has resistance to rapid abrasion when driving at high speed, and also does not make noise and smoothly holds the car on the track. The cost of 1 tire begins from 2,750 rubles.
It is interesting! Before purchasing rubber, it is necessary to check the product for authenticity - recently there has been an increasing counterfeit that is implemented under well-known brand stamps in the Russian market.
Top 5 Winter Rubber
During the selection of rubber for the winter, it is necessary to take into account the clutch coefficient with a road surface both on a snow-covered track and rolled ice.
Among popular models winter tires For Ford Focus in the Russian Federation, it is vividly distinguished:
- Sunny SN600 - symmetrical pattern Tread tread is designed for operation along an asphalt surface, however, rubber also shows a grip chain and on a snow-covered. The material used in the manufacture of rubber allows you to develop speed up to 210 km / h with a load of 750 kg. The cost of the tire begins from 2,700 rubles;
- Beshina Artmotion Snow - a budget option from domestic producer. Of the benefits, it is worth highlighting a high clutch coefficient, regardless of the type of road surface. Not suitable for dynamic driving, the cost begins from 2,500 rubles;
- Rosava WQ-102 - studded winter tireswhich provides coursework stability and high acoustic comfort. The directed tread pattern contributes to high controllability on the track. Price in the Russian Federation - from 2,300 rubles;
- PREMIORRI VIA MAGGIORE - the presence of spikes, directional pattern of the tread and channels for moisture removal ensures controllability and chain grip with the surface. The perfect budget option for a couple of seasons, the cost is 1,900 rubles per tire;
- Kama Freeze - the option is popular due to low cost, but is not suitable for dynamic driving. The main plus of tires is a good quality of spikes and resistance to temperature differences. The cost in the Russian market begins from 1,750 rubles behind the tire.
Note! Strictly not recommended to consider used tires for winter. No information O. real mileage and the method of storage does not allow to evaluate real performance features Tires - it is possible that elite, but used rubber may not provide a proper level of adhesion from the working surface on the track.
How it works and how to disable air pressure sensor
The air pressure indication system in tires works on the principle of measuring force acting with inner Tires, on the sensor near the pacifier rubber. This equipment allows you to control in real time the condition of the tires, which contributes to a safer movement.
On Ford Focus 2 generations in the menu on-board computer There is no function of the program disconnecting the pressure control system. If necessary, turn off the accessory will have to disassemble the sensors themselves located in the nipple area between the tire and the wheel disk, after which itching the process of controlling the system in the BC using diagnostic equipment.
Note! In the case of only mechanical dismantling of air pressure sensors on dashboard Ford Focus 2 will light up a fault check, which in the presence of related errors may even disable the possibility of the engine ignition. If necessary, turn off the pressure sensors with a rational solution will appeal to a specialized center.
Each owner of the car seeks to highlight it from a gray crowd and do at least in anything unique. Not least this concerns wheels. But, indeed, incubator stamped steel discs do not too decorate the stylistics of the machine. And at least they have certain advantages over the alloy, many try to install the casting. What a breakdown of wheels on Ford Focus 2, restyling and dorestayling, which you need to know to correctly choose the disc, we understand together.
Wheels on Ford Focus with standard breakdown.
Due to many reasons, the automakers did not come to a single timing of the wheel fixing to the hub.
Each model has a different amount of mounting holes, a different diameter of the centering hole, many other different parameters.
PCD.
To systematize the fastening of the disks to the hub, a special parameter is developed, PCD, or in our opinion, razbold . Here is a scheme that demonstrates the difference in the breaks of discs with a different number of mounting holes and a different diameter of the centers of the holes.
The main parameters of the wheel disk.
On the diameter diameter is marked with a literary B, and the distance between the Hole Litero A. Since the diameter of the centers is difficult to measure, then the formula is indicated on top of which. And the breakfast determines the amount of mounting holes and the diameter on which their center is located.
Tools on Ford Focus 2: Parameters
Factory alloy wheels on focus 2 with breaking 5x108.
If you take our focus of any generation, then the breakdown for its disks is indicated 5x108.
This means that the disk is attached to five holes, the center of which are located on a diameter of 108 mm. Such a breaktack in the focus of the first, second and third generations, regardless of modernization. However, this is not enough to choose the right cast disc for Ford Focus.
Other disk parameters for Ford Focus 2
Stamped standard disk.
On the example of standard steel stamped focus disks, consider the most important disk parameters and permissible deviations from them.
5JR16 5 × 108 ET52,5 DIA 63.3 - native parameters.
As you can see, PCD is far from the only meaning that affects the compatibility of the disk with the architecture of the suspension, chassis and car body. First, the disk diameter can be different. For example, depending on the modification, on the second focus, restyling and dorestayling disk diameter can be 15 or 16 inches, and these discs are marked as follows: 6JR15 5 × 108 ET52,5 DIA 63.3 .
Parameters in the photo.
Now briefly consider each of the parameters to be able to subsequently choose a fully compatible with focus 2 wheels.
- Disc width . In our case, it is 6J and 6.5J. In fact, this is the landing width of the tire, the parameter is indicated in inches. If you install a wider disk, it can touch the suspension elements when turning, which is not good.
- Diameter . This is the landing size of rubber and it is also indicated in inches. For focus it is R15 and R16. As with the width, the diameter is undesirable to exceed, because there is a chance that the rubber will get to the wheeled arches, however, it depends on the height of the tire profile.
- Razbold . With her, we are already familiar and for the focus of all generations it is constant - 5x108.
- Departure . Highly important parameterSince it is precisely it determines not only the distance between the hub and the catering plane of the disk, but the degree of load on the suspension elements depends on it. The departure is denoted by the literal and for focus this parameter is constant - 52.5 mm.
- The diameter of the landing hub hole . Designed by DIA and for our car, it is also stable - 63.3 mm.

conclusions
Consequently, 5x108 remains the only allowable breaking for the focus, the landing hub diameter must be 63.3 mm.
The remaining parameters, such as departure and width, can vary in a small range, and the diameter can be selected from 15 to 18 inches depending on the height of the tire. Choose the discs competently and even all the roads!
Car brand Ford Focus produced american company Ford Motor, began his story in Russia in the late 90s, and in the next decade acquired a huge number of fans.
The second generation of this brand (2005-2011) with its compactness, convenience and reliability only added to her authority, and by 2010 the car received the status of foreign cars sold in the country, having received a "car of the year" award after 2 years.
The focuses were flooded the whole country, especially since since 2008 we collect them - in Vsevolozhsk near Peter. Consider in detail what wheels to put focus 2 on Ford, and start with their parameters.
Parameters of wheels
To begin with, consider the size of the disks and tires that are suitable for focus 2, depending on the modification.
The table shows the parameters of the wheels themselves, planting place At the hub everywhere the same - 63.4 mm.

What nuts on the Ford Focus 2 wheels depends on which discs on this machine will be installed. If cast or forged, the nut must be closed, as shown on the first photo from below. To mount the stamped nuts, the nuts are needed short through. Thread step and in that and in another case will be M12 * 1.5.
Closed nuts under alloy wheels for Ford Focus 2 To mount the stamped nuts, the nuts are needed short through.
Nuts for stamped disks Thread step and in that and in another case will be M12 * 1.5.
Outpound Nut Parameters 19 In order not to allow attackers to remove the wheels from your car, it would be good to buy a set secret Gas. They are sold in 4 pcs (one wheel alone), plus a special key, without which you can only unscrew this nut in a tire fitting.
Set of secret nuts Note: Sometimes nuts with difficulty are removed, and the problem may occur, for example, when you need to put the spare parts.
In this case, before removing the wheel, process the connections to the WD-40 spray, which must be present in the trunk of each car.
Original discs
What sizes of disks on Ford Focus 2 are suitable. We figured out. Now let's see what the most popular original models on this car can be bought today in stores.
Alcasta M14.
Alcasta M14. It's no secret that most cast discs in the Russian market have an Asian origin. So what? According to the design, they sometimes do not give way to European models, and that the most pleasant is almost twice as cheaper.
Alcasta M34.
Alcasta M34. Incredibly beautiful model with nine twisted spokes and graphite coating. Produced in 15-18 radii and different options Painting.
Alutec ikenu.
Alutec ikenu. The five-beam star is one of the most popular designs, including for Ford Focus-2. The model from the German manufacturer of Alutec coated polished graphite in a 17-inch size is quite suitable in order to retesting.
Ford FD105 Replika.
Ford FD105 Replika. Cute five-point model with a saturated-silver coating. Such discs are suitable for Ford of any color. REPLIKA - Italian brand, but production is located in Taiwan, from where the casting is lost and enters our country.
REPLICA FD12
REPLICA FD12 Well-selling model on Ford Focus, which is found in certain variations in many manufacturers. Coating options can be a variety of: white silver, black, graphite, matte, polished - you can always choose what you like.
REPLICA FD22.
REPLICA FD22. Option for those who love multiple patterns. The manufacturer offers covers the most different species. What to choose, solve you. The design is very interesting and looks good at 17 radius and more. Even when the car stands still, creates the illusion of movement.
You can save somewhat by purchasing not casting, but steel stamping. If you do without force majeure on the road, then these discs will serve for a long time.
Steel Disc Their disadvantage is the absence of aesthetic effect. It can be compensated by installing decorative caps, but their appearanceOf course, incomparable with the design alloy wheels.
Cap masks an unattractive iron drive During the operation of the car before its owner, there are many questions related to the choice of rubber. What kind winter wheels choose which tires you can ride all year round, or how many years you can use summer tires?
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 seek to buy one set of rubber and not remove it during the year - is rather an exception than the rule.
Most car owners still understand that seasonal shift Tires are needed. What tires are allowed to use in the winter in Russia, stipulates in a new edition technical Regulations Tr Ts 018/2011.
Everyone has winter tires All-season protector Some are mistaken, thinking that all-season, or universal, tire is intended for year-round use. And these terms only denote the type of tread.
Universal is an option for a summer ride in off-road conditions. Deep drawing, which is called all-season, makes it possible to get a good to remove the snow porridge and dirt from the spots.
Such a protector is present in all winter tires, and also provided for some summer. Therefore, if the tire is not positioned as a winter unintended (friction, velcro), it means it is summer.
At temperatures below +5 +7 degrees, it will solve and lose its properties, slide instead of braking on a wet or icing road.
On the summer tire, the all-season protector is done when it is intended for dirt, or in the sizes on which all-wheel drive SUVs, crossovers, light-mass cars drive.
Since the focus 2 does not apply to such, the summer tire for him you need to take with a highway tread. The directional protector is always more efficient to take water, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning, asymmetrical better provides coursework stability on the wet road.
Therefore, for regions, where there is a lot of precipitation in the summer, and it is more like autumn, this option is preferable.
Width and Height Tire Profile
In general, the car owner does not need to invent anything, because each manufacturer provides several sizes (if possible to do) to replace discs and tires.
These data are prescribed in the passport of the car, of which you need to choose. On a disk with a certain width, you can wear tires with different profile options.
- In the width, the tire must match the width of the disk. This is important, since it is narrower than the tire needed excessively stretching, which means the risk of its spontaneous removal from the rim.
- The too wide tire forms a certain ugly "fungus", which also should not be. Small variations of these parameters are allowed, but in everything you need to know the measure.
- The wider bus is usually put for the summer, as it has an enlarged area of \u200b\u200bcontact with the road. But when the width of the tire profile increases and the likelihood of car planning in water increases. Therefore, for the winter, they usually put narrow tires, which, by the way, makes it easier to ride on the snowdrifts.
Remember also that the wider the rubber profile, the more harder it affects challenges And increasing the increase in fuel consumption. In addition, it is more expensive, therefore consciously increase the profile width, if this is not a sports option - Ford Focus II RS does not make sense.
If the profile width is displayed in millimeters, then height - in percentage ratio From width. The higher the profile, the more comfortable it is to ride, and the more stable the wheel to the punctum.
But the low profile gives better course stability and handling, and it looks at passenger cars more interesting. Therefore, many try at least for the summer to put low-profile rubber.
In order not to make less than the height of the car as a whole, the balance with a decrease in the profile can be due to an increase in the diameter of the wheels. That is, if the focus is in 16 radius, the profile size is 205/55, then in the 17th 205/50. The same width, but the profile is below.
Tire life
How to labeling to determine the year of tire release - 09 week, 07 year It remains to answer asking how much you can store tires from the date of production. According to Russian standards, the manufacturer must give a five-year warranty on passenger tire under the condition of it properly operation. After this period, it will not be no complaints.
For this period and you need to navigate if you buy a tire domestic production. If at the time of sale it lay for a long time in the warehouse, there is no warranty period at your disposal.
Although if the tire was kept correctly and does not have a grid of cracks on the surface, it is quite possible to ride. In stores such rubber are usually sold with a markdown.
In Europe, there are 10 years warranty in Europe on a passenger tire. So if on wheels it is written that they are made in Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, France, you can safely take the models that have undergone several years in the warehouse.
Just get on at once five wheels on your Ford Focus 2. The lineup Manufacturers often change, and if necessary, after a while, it's one wheel, a problem may arise.
If you needed rubber on Ford Focus 2, then you should consider the season and weather in order to make right choice. It is necessary to be attentive, because winter and summer options are found in the root in diameter, size, quality, characteristics and, of course, price.
It may seem that summer tires The Ford Focus 2 is not particularly different from the winter, but it is not. Summer auto shoes has no special spikes used in winter.
The purpose of both species is to ensure proper transportation of transport, as well as the safety of its driver.
Depending on the time of year, the tasks facing rubber are changing. For example, in the summer, it rains are a big danger, because of this, a special protector pattern is applied on the summer auto shoes, which improves the grip by removing moisture between the tire and the road to the side. 
Protectors have special wide channels for which water is derived.
Winter rubber does 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. It means to choose required spare partsAll sorts of accessories and rubber will not be difficult, as they are in demand. Basically, Ford Focus 2 is completed with tires 205 / 50R16, but this size is found quite rare, although it does not have any special work, like any other tires for this model. The size of the rubber often ranges from 195/65r15 to 205/55r1.
Toyo proxes. PX4 Plus.
It is also worth considering that the quality of autobuvi 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 clutch and high specifications Even with 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 the achievement of high-class engineers of the company.
For Ford Focus, there is a huge selection of tires, including silent and demi-season. You can only do optimal choice, focusing at the price, quality, characteristics and product design.
