Dunlop M3 Winter Sport (from tirerack.com)
I purchased these dedicated winter tires from the tire rack
for my 07 focus.
All I can say is wow.. there is a reason they are the number one rated
winter tire on tirerack.com right now. These tires are incredable.
The performance is much better than the stock GY rs-a in all aspects..
better handling, better performance.. less hydroplane. etc.
my stock size was 195/60R15
I purchased 195/65R15 for 333$ shipped to my door and there was a
50$ mail in rebate on top of that.

Yes, but they're very soft you know -- if you run them all year long they won't last. I have the Cooper winter tires on my wifes Honda and she LOVES them. They may not be as good as the ones you got, but any reputable winter tire makes a HUGE difference.
Her car is the same way -- the tires are VERY "sticky" and hold the road like nobody's business -- but they do wear quicker than standard rubber.

They look really nice! The Coopers don't have as "scuplted" a tread as those -- but like most in that class there's beaucoup siping everywhere, lol.
The Focus is your daily driver, yes? That's nice. I hope you still have your truck though?

No John, I am getting a layoff.. and was driving 650mi/week so I had to trade the ranger in. I will be rangerless for aprox 24-36 more monthes.
then I will have to decide on a toy truck with focus as DD or another
ranger DD.
most likely I'll end up getting a ranger to beat on.. so I dont have to worry
about those pesky branches and waterholes owning it.

Well, I'm sorry about that, Rand -- I guess I haven't been keeping up with the news. I really liked your truck, so I'm sorry to see it go.
Hope you get back into something offroady some day so you can come play in Wharton with us!
