I have 2 RE070's that I'd like to sell to match the stock STi 225/45R17's. They have quite a bit of meat left on them.

I've got two used Pirelli PZero Neros m+s (something like that) in 225/45/17 that you can have if you come pick them. They don't have a whole lot of tread left, but they're usable. I'm in the Sunset of SF, so pm if you're interested and I'll give you my address. I just want to get rid of them.

You definitely want to be careful mixing and matching MODELS of tires on your car.

Though the bridgestone potenza RE070 is technically 225/45/17, it spins at 837rpm whereas the PZero Neros spin quite a bit slower at 825rpm in the same size.

TireRack says that the Potenza RE070 is 24.9" tall whereas the PZero Nero M+S is 25.2" tall. That will DEFINITELY mess with your diffs.
