Track Tires: '11 WRX hatchback
I'm trying to decide between tire sizes and wondering if going wider is better. I've narrowed it down to the following options:
Dunlop StarSpecs 245/45/17 or 245/40/17. I'm afraid 245/45 would be a bit too tall but i like the meaty-look too. But also don't want to sacrifice performance for looks.
And finally, would 255/40 work with my 17x8 stockers?

Yes, I do like the meaty-ness of the 245/45. But i hear it's probably too tall considering the tall gearing of the WRX, especially 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm definitely leaning towards 245/45.

^glad you chimed in, Luke...would 255/40 work with 17x8?
You guys have RS-3s at a killer price in that size.

And I would skip on the direzza!
rs3 or RA1 =D
From further research and tests, RA1 is definitely better than r888 on our heavy vehicles on an avg track day!
