We’ve been impressed with the Ford Focus RS for a while now, and can’t wait to see it hit dealership lots this spring. Now, since we’ll be seeing the Focus RS after the snow melts, its ability to navigate during slick conditions may not be on your mind, but it’s a good question: can you drive the Ford Focus RS in Snow? Not only is it possible, if you prepare correctly, it can handle it with ease.
How does the Ford Focus RS drive in Snow?
Planning to put in your own order for a Ford Focus RS? You may not be concerned with it yet, but at some point you’ll have to determine what you’re going to do when the snow starts coming down. Sure, you could keep it garaged up for a few months, but a Focus RS begs to be driven, and for those who want to drive it year round there’s something special from Ford just for you! If you want to drive the Ford Focus RS in snow, then equipping it with the Winter Wheel and Tire package.

What comes with the Ford Focus RS Winter Package
It’s not too often that you’ll find a Winter package being offered on a performance vehicle or hot hatch like the Ford Focus RS, but we’re excited that it’s owners will have the ability to drive it safety year round. With the Focus RS Winter Package, you’ll be getting the 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tire mounted to new 18×7.5 in wheel. This will look pretty similar to the standard equipment on the Focus RS, but it has a silver finish so that salt spray doesn’t stick out as much. The benefit of this equipment is that its smaller size and diameter is able to find traction easier in the snow, especially when paired with the all-wheel drive on the Focus RS.
