Which tyres should I choose for a 2024 Ford Focus Active with 215/55 R17 tyres for mountain driving at 1,400 metres in Italy?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, For your Ford Focus Active, I would base the choice on the season and expected road conditions rather than the altitude alone. If you regularly drive on snowy mountain roads, I would choose dedicated winter tyres for winter and a separate summer set: good winter tyres generally have an advantage on snow and slush. All-season tyres remain a compromise and are more suitable when demanding winter journeys are occasional and you can postpone travel in severe conditions. Before buying, confirm the specified tyre size, load index and speed rating in your vehicle documentation; 215/55 R17 alone is not the complete specification. Are you looking for summer tyres only, or tyres for year-round mountain use?
