Tires Tires Tires
I've got a new 04' WRX that I want to put some good summer performance tires on, and then use the Potenzas for the fall/winter.
Any suggestions? I'll take horror stories as well so I know what to stay away from?

Are you still on stock rims? Guess that would matter.

Just try not to hit water with them
Actualy , I have those falkens and they have performed fantasticaly for me in the rain too , you may be thinking of the azenis sports which have the bad rain rap.
I covet those tires , but that is a sweet deal from costco on tires that look good and have gotten good reviews both dry and wet.

What About
What about Yokohama's AVS ES100's??? Not expensive and has good reviews from what I can tell. I've also talked to a few people at a local performance shop and the only thing they don't like is the tread wear.

BTW -I got them from the Tirerack, ordered on a wed night and had them on my doorstep friday afternoon. Bravo!

I've driven the ES100's and the ST-115's and, IMO, the ES100's SUCK.....the Falken FK-451's are a great solution...the ST-115's are more of a HP(quiet) touring tire...the 451's are more performance.
I made the mistake of buying the Falken Azenis.....they SUCK...the Kumho MX's are FAR superior.
