Have a 1600 focus which is currently fitted with rather horrible hard and noisy kwikFit own brand tyres. They are 185/65/15 . It is only a “shopping car” so don’t need anything that radical but what is the tyre of choice ? I like the T1r Toyo on another car but wonder if the side walls may be a bit soggy for the Focus, any suggestions ?

Put the right size tyres on it, 15" alloys should have 195/60/15, on my focus at the mo i have got the avon zv5's and they are a quieter ride that the toyo cf1's i had on previously, toyo's grip better but for a family hack the avons are better in my opinion,
