the thing handles like its rails - like nothing i've ever driven before. not sure if its the car or the tires - but my gawd - it just goes where i point it, no matter what!!!
havent had the car long enough to talk about wear rates, or wet weather traction, etc
😳 😳 Shot! I figured D was for Twincam or DOHC 😳 😳

Sewercyde, what tyres do you have in 215/45R17?
I need a set of 4 for my Focus ST170, I have a set of semi's for autocrosses so the tyre won't see use on a track but I do want a high performance tyre, preferably AA traction. I mostly do driving to and from work daily with a weekly 160km return trip thrown in.
I would also prefer not to have a directional pattern, the Hankook Ventus K104's I have at the moment got a bit noisy after a while.

Howzit Boet,
Hercules Raptis is my choice, I drive with the 225/40/18 when i go long distance. They are Asymmetric, so they are quiet and comfortable.

OK well, I suggest tyres like this ....more or less.
If it's road comfort and good levels of grip, Asymmetric.....if road 'competition' i.e. Racing...lol 😀 then a Directional.
Directional:Federal 595
225/40/18-R1450
no 235/40, 245/40/18-R1595 *edit*
265/35/18-R1935
Asymmetric: Hercules Raptis
225/40/18-R1050
no 235/40,245/40/18-R1350
no 265, 255/45/18-R1550
