Impreza tyre choice advice............

Rob S · Post by **Rob S** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:43 pm

Chaps,
I've recently joined the Impreza ranks, and have a standard Impreza MY99 Turbo, currently with 205/50/16 tyres.
Can any owners advise me as to what would be a recommended set of tyres to get on the old girl?
I've had TOYO's on other cars and like them, but I understand these cars can be sensitive to tyre choice.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Toyo T1R's for your size of wheel/tyre combo. Scooby's love them and they last well enough. Awesome in the wet, and seeing as we get lots of wet weather in the UK bloody good job too

Hankook RS2 is a good option -

Make sure the Toyos are T1-R not the older T1-S.

Rs have stiffer side-walls and beter suited to Scobies.

You'll be even more impressed when it's chucking it down and they are driven by Subaru Symmetrical 4WD.

Have fun
