STI all seasons
OK, I did the leg work so any help narrowing this down will help alot. I am trying to keep it reasonable so a full snow tire is pretty much out of the budget. Not to metnion I made it around for 4 years with all seasons and FWD, I figure all seasons and all wheel drive should be alot better. Remeber with the STI I have to stick with a 17" wheel so I am just going to use the factory wheels.
So far I have:
Falken Ziex ZE-512
$102/ each, free shipping
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...CodeIndex=28751
Goodyear Eagle RS-A
$105/each + ~ $30 for shipping.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...romCompare1=yes
Pirelli P7000 SUPERSPORT
$114/each + ~ $30 for shipping.

I am thinking the Falken would be best?
I tried several other online vendors but few had 17" all seasons.

TireRack Should have something for you...
:EDIT: for an STi you want at least V if not a Z rated tire, so mark the RSAs off your list.

Sorry...where will you be driving, will you be racing w/ these tires, if so what kind & how often, do you have a budget, if so what is it, is milage a huge concern...I think answering those Qs will help alot. But if I had to choose among those 3, I think I'd be inclined to go with the 512. If price is no object then get Pilot SportA/Ss if you are on a "after X-mas tire shopping" budget go for the 512s or Sumitomo HTR+s.

Its for a winter month tire only. Never will they be raced or even see high speeds. The budget is under $500. If I could go higher I'd definitly be going back to some nokian Hakka 2's.

Car Info: 04 wrx sti
i got a set of the rota tarmacs 2 for the winter and im using nitto nt450 series tire same specs size wize as the factory tires. i chose these because i had em on my old wrx on some 17" oz superleggeras and i thought they did great in rain,snow,etc. so i just decided to stay with the nitto's. they are a bit noisey 45mph and up though.
from your concerns in your posts above i would suggest contiextremecontact. i got them for winter wheels because i wanted an all season just short of snows which were still quiet at high speed and were decent in the dry. the conti's have a very aggressive tread pattern for snow & rain and the impression i've gotten from ppl is that it would suit my needs.
