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 electronic stability control sport mode or fully disable
electronic stability control 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.
