look at how well they do in the snow!

Funny, I was just looking for new tires today and talked to SwisherKing, he has those and said they're really great. Don't know if he works at N* tho. Tempted to get them, but then I think I would need to switch in the summer... which is not tempting. Yes, I'm that lazy. :)

Hmm, where are they selling that size for $80? I only see $130 from Sears. And can't even find that size at TireRack.

tire rack has them for $105

I'd save that BBS & get 06+ stockers (17x7) w/ 205/50-17 (OEM size for 08 WRX) since 215/45-17 is not available in that particular model. ;)

if worse comes to worse what can i work with just the bbs. Or whats the best possible option and they also might go on my brothers 03 wrx.

It's a waste for 04 BBS for snow tires since they are pretty rare & valuable.

I guess but ive taken them up there multiple times never had any trouble and theres no more room in the garage for more wheels -__-

215 is a good size for snow tire. No reason you should be running under 225 on the daily though... why'd you downsize?

with snow you want smaller tires so for your sti wheels the 215's would work great!
