According to Falken's website, ST-115's are listed as "D1 Sport" tires. lol

Also, the new Azenis RT-215 (aka "Sports") will come in 245/45/27... which will probably be just a bit too large for Subarus. Oh, for a set of 245/35/17s!!

It's not the 245 width that's too big... it's the loss of gear ratio because they're 45 series tires.
And Ed owes me like an extra $100 and like two NOPI chicks because I hooked him up with the "dorifto lyfestyle".

Not that fact that they're 27 inch rims?

Does the site list the actual diameters and widthses? I've got a set of Re070's to burn first, but given the added power of my car, I may need a set of tires mod season.
