My new snow shoes arrived today, Tire rack is INCREDIBLY fast with shipping. Going to put them on tonight at my friends place as he has an air gun/compressor. Pictures will be up after that.

Tire Rack is the shiz...I once ordered a set of rubber paid for regular shipping, they were delivered in less than 24 hrs.

Thats what I did! It was 95$ for for wheels with rubber, I ordered Monday afternoon at 330pm. I had an email from the shipping/receiving at my company at 8pm last night saying they just came in. I was flabbergasted. EST delivery was friday, which would have meant monday since my company is closed for thanksgiving. Now I will have my snow shoes on for my long commute to the ladies parents house and I wont have to worry about the impending bad weather (as much)

Yep they do. Thats actually what i bought. I have a '14 ST focus and i was sliding around on the first unexpected snow. Just go to the site and go to products.. there is a winter section that you can search by make model year and trim and then they recommend a steelie setup with ties as well as options to customize....

Thanks! I'll check it out. The subie needs steelies, I already have the tires (if they'll work)
Also, as I'm sure I've stated before, still extremely jealous of your Focus.

Haha thanks! I love it! It really is a blast to drive, you should get to a dealership and test drive one just for fun. Tire rack has a huge selection of wheels and such and if the steelies arent right for your tires something else will be. I almost got a set of Enkais (sp?) they were sex but I wanted to save a few bucks.

I want cheap, and probably won't end up getting anything this winter as it needs a radiator a bit more than wheels. Would love to test drive a new ST, either Focus or Fiesta. Fiesta would be perfect for my commute. Some day!

I need to use a lot less gas! But I would make sure to test them both out before making a decision. And I still need to drive a Mazdaspeed3.

Yeah i tried the speed3 when I was shopping and the Focus just felt better. They are very similar though in alot of ways so its really potato potato

I was pretty attached to my '00 zetec 5spd Focus, so those feels would probably win out over the Mazda anyway. That was my favorite car.

I had the 02 SVT focus and i HATED that POS. it was just the least reliable car i ever owned. The fact that i traded it for a new focus shocks me, but considering the 13/14 focuses are one of the highest rated hatches on the road and so highly reviewed I figured id be safe

Weird. Mine was beat to hell when I got it and was super reliable until the computer totally went a couple years later. It was a great $500 car though.
