•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•When replacing tires, the only way to maintain original performance is
to use the original equipment tire. If a different summer tire is used, it
should be the same size, speed rating and load rating as the originally
equipped tire. Tires should be replaced as a set of four. Never mix tire
brands or models.
TIRE PRESSURE
•For tire pressures, see the placard located on the B-pillar inside the
driver’s door.
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard on the driver’s door jamb, using an accurate gauge.
•Tire pressures are specified “cold” and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure
of warm tires.
•Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.
WINTER DRIVING
The original equipment tires on your ST vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in dry and wet summer conditions. They are not
designed for winter use on ice or snow and cannot be used with snow
chains. Ford does not recommend using the original equipment tires
when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below
(depending on tire wear and environmental conditions) or in snow/ice
conditions. If you will be operating your vehicle in these conditions,
winter or all-season tires must be used.
•Even with clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle
above posted speed limits or perform high speed maneuvers with
winter tires.
•Do not use tire chains on the original wheels and tires of your vehicle.
The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage your
vehicle.

The following table lists acceptable tire sizes for winter tires. Tire speed
and load ratings should match those of the originally equipped tires as
closely as possible. If it is required to fit winter tires with a speed rating
less than the original equipment tires (to fit snow chains, for example),
be aware of the maximum speed rating for the tire and never exceed.

FULL SIZE SPARE
Your Focus ST is equipped with a full size, dissimilar spare tire assembly.
Although the spare is a traditional, full size tire (as opposed to a mini
spare), it is different in both size and handling characteristics from the
standard Focus ST performance tire. Should you need to install the spare
tire, the following precautions must be adhered to:
•Because of the different performance characteristics of the spare tire,
avoid aggressive steering, braking, acceleration or high speeds when
the spare tire is installed.
•Never enable ESC Sport mode or fully disable ESC when the spare
tire is installed
•Replace the spare tire with the correct original equipment specified
tire as soon as possible
The following table lists the specifications for the full size spare tire and
wheel assembly. Tire speed and load ratings should match those of the
originally equipped tires as closely as possible.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Focus ST carries the same warranty as other Ford Focus models.
This information is covered in its entirety in the warranty information.
Warranty service for the Focus ST or any ST vehicle can be obtained at
any Ford dealer nationwide.
Ford Global Performance does not recommend modifying or racing ST,
SVT or RS vehicles, as they are designed and built to be driven as
delivered from the factory. The warranty information discusses vehicle
usage and the installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on
warranty coverage.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
actions are required:
•Perform multi-point inspection and the maintenance outlined in the
150,000 mile (240,000 kilometer) normal maintenance schedule of the
scheduled maintenance before and after track use. Refer to the vehicle
service manual for removal and installation procedures.
•Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These actions may not necessarily protect your vehicle from damage in
competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition conditions
even with this recommended action may render repairs non-reimbursable
under the warranty.
