Ive got an 06 sti on stock 17 x 8 bbs. Lowered but not dumped on tein basic coilovers sitting on stock alignment settings.

Still have the cheap nexen 225/45-17 that came with the car when I bought it. Barely got 20k miles on em & theyre almost bald, I rotated once. Im a mildly aggresive driver so looking for a brand that will last longer for my driving style.

Also looking to go with 235/45 or 245/45 (if possible) in the front, & stock in the rear for better handling. Hopefully with no rubbing & no need for a funky alignment set up.

Any suggestions?

 

If im not mistaken, AWD cars should have same tire sizes in all corners. If you want a good summer performace tire for the aggressive driving, the tire wont last longer than a year(depending on how much you drive)

Look into
Bridgestone Potenza RE 11's or RE760 Sports.

I have the sports and love them.

 

I thought that was for outside diameter only? Thats cool though I will keep that in mind. I will check those out thanks!

 

ive gone over 20k on my dunlop star specs, and they grip like crazy...

 

thnx ill check those out too
