Prefer the base option wheels and tires and invest in other stuff.

I'll be honest....

If I'm driving a car with a drift button, I'll be using it. Why do you think I run cheap daily tires on my Evo? LOL Getting sideways with no worries of wasting money is one reason.

Have they released the tire size for the RS yet? Hopefully it has a massive oil cooler, radiator, fan, etc. to keep those temperatures down at the track. The ST has a ~5.5 quart oil capacity which isn't too shabby, maybe they can up that i little further. Is it possible the RS has a factory transmission oil cooler?

From the Ford website:

235/35 R19 91Y Michelin Super Sport
or
235/35 R19 91Y Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2

Depending on how you configure it.

Tall, skinny wheels. Hm....

I'd get 17s or 18s asap. Hopefully in a 255.

Not sure that a 235/35/19 tire is tall but okay... It's actually a shorter sidewall height and smaller diameter then the OEM Evo 10 245/40/18 tire!

You guys just love to nitpick every freaking thing about this car.

Same OEM tire size as the Golf R. The similarities continue.

One of things to keep in mind is that the Focus is a model year away from a new generation. Might be worth it to wait a year and see what they have in store for the new generation RS. Probably have the same powertrain with a tweak here or there but there's a good chance the suspension, braking and weight would all be improved upon.
