    225/75-16 light truck tires?

    Focus ST strategy

    Originally Posted By: Old Mustang Guy The panel under my Mustang will drop from the rear side after just removing two nut screws from the back. Then it drops enough to get the filter out. It may not be as much of a chore as you think. No, the Focuses suck real bad. It's something like 10-12...
