Need tire pressures for 2009-2011 SES with 215/45-17
#1
I just scored a nice set of used factory 17 inch wheels and tires. But I don't know what the pressure settings should be for the 215/45-17 tires (factory original Kumos, I think)

Does anyone on this forum own a 2009-2011 Focus SES with the 17 inch wheels and 215/45-17 tires. If so, could you please check your door sticker and tell me the recommended pressures F/R?

If it matters, they are going on a 2005 ZX5 SES.

Thanks,

Bob the Duck Canuck

Excellent. Straight from the door jamb. That is what I was really hoping for. I'll go pump them up another pound.

Thanks.
