correct psi will be on the chart in the door shut. if the car has been stood for a long time thing the tyres might be square.

It might just be the look of the tyres?

Are you on a flat surface and have nothing extra in the car when looking at it?

some tyres have this appearance normally its budget make ones, fair play for owning a saloon focus as its considered the ugly duckling in the ford world hence their poor resale values

do you really have to ask why saloons are called that ? come on

a different make tyre with the same sizing make look way better without that flat look, its due to as you say either stretching or lack of steel banding
