The Focus has so little clearance around the tires I wouldn't risk putting chains on it in my shop either.

If they aren't perfectly adjusted they will cause a ton of damage.

It's a front wheel drive car, with decent all season tires you should be able to drive anywhere that you have any business going.

dont do it..on a front wheel drive theres no room. u will wreck your car. get good tires...happy motoring

It's not advised as there is very little clearance between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the spring mount on the front strut. There's a good chance snow chains would just lock the wheel.

To be honest, you don't need either. All you need to do is learn how to drive on snow and ice. It surprises me just how many people don't have a clue. The secret is try not to stop. If you time things right, you'll find it quite easy. I've driven small cars and big cars through snow, and only had a problem once, and that was because I stopped my MG metro to give someone a jump start! I kept my engine running, but when I parked shortly after, my battery was nearly flat, and I had to get a jump start off someone else to get home again.

You can pretty much put snow chains on any car. It's not impossible to put snow chains on a ford focus. Go by your local ford dealer and they will be able to give you a estimate on chains.

I can't see why you can't fit snow chains to any car, as long as the chain is the right size.
