Hook me up with a set, and I'll let you know for sure...
STU is pretty competitive.

What sizes does it come in? (c'mon, 245/40/17....)
How much are they?

This is the flyers. The treadwear is 180, AA A. It has 215/45ZR17, 235/45ZR17 for impreza now. But more sizes are coming before the end of this year.

A few questions to ask here.

1. Does anyone run 215/45ZR17 or 235/45ZR17 for their Impreza? That are the only sizes we have for Impreza now. The OE size will be on the market in the end of this tear.
2. Does anyone run auto X here?
3. Is it allow to have a group buy here?
4. Does anyone see this Ad in Sport Compat Car?
Thank you

1. 225/45/17 is more popular.

2. a few do.

3. Yes, if you register as a vendor. contact imprezer.

4. No, but I'll look again.

I'd like it in 245/40/17

I was planning on running 245/40/17, but would consider 235's if they really had superior or at least competitive overall grip to RT-615's or Kumho MX's.

Yes, I've been autocrossing for about 5 years, I am the current points leader in street tire "A" stock for the Detroit Region SCCA, and won the 2005 Central Division SCCA Championship in Street Touring Ultra (STU). There are others here that autocross as well, particularly in the STU class.

I don't know, but I hope the moderators chime in with the answer.

1. I currently run the OE 225/45R17 on my '05 STi. the 235's would work, but I'd probably prefer the 245/40R17s.

2. I do autocross in the STU class

3. They do allow group buys.

4. I don't remember seeing your ad.

Just wanna know how many of you will run this tire on your daily drive car? If the number is enough, i will start a group buy. A special price direct from factory.
Thank you

I run my STi as a daily driver. But my autocross season will be over for the year at the end of October here in Ohio. I still might be interested though.

I am trying to contact imprezer for the GB. If we can work it out. You can buy the tires at very low price. Somewhere close to the retailer's cost.
So please give me some time and please give me some supports.
Thank you
