Ford Motor Company and Michelin have announced that the new Ford Focus RS will be equipped with Michelin tires. The MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tire, in the dimension 235/35/19, will be fitted on the Focus RS as standard and the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire (in the same dimension) will be available as an option for improved performance on tracks. The new Ford Focus RS is a particularly demanding and sporty vehicle, representing a precise in-depth challenge for Michelin engineers, to specifically develop these two tires in order to propose tires able to meet the expectations of Ford teams. This advanced development process was carried out over almost 2 years, during which the car hit the tarmac of several tracks.
