Default Re: Winter Tire Information Thread.

I just purcahsed a 2004 Focus SVT with the Euro package; what a fun car!

Can I use standard steel Focus wheels on this for winter? I really blew the budget on the pruchase so buying a second set of alloy wheels is not real appealing at this point.

I would like to get 4 wheels from the boneyard and mount some good all seasons on them. I know the handling will suffer but come January I just want to get to work. I will likley pass on the winter tires, I haev had some trick Norwegian ones in the past and they are great, as I live and drive in the city and we have the some prettty much off the streets here in Milwaukee in less than a day. Unless you really hit the timing wrong the roads are never really that bad for very long and I can avoid any suburban highways if need be.

Will the standard wheels work?

Thanks
Dave
