it's not being lazy, it's called being efficient :P
I'll be going the RE070's thanks [camer183, WRXTASY] haven't had them before, bought the orig. STI rims and they had 215/45/17 G-III's on them.... now that they're low, i'll get something sticky... as for road noise, well, if I hear them over my exhaust, intake, and stereo then i still won't be concerned if they handle well, which I am sure they will.

Sethor, $330 is what I was quoted around a year ago, $307ea through some friends in the tire business.. obviously no price drop in 12 months, not to worry, it needs em, i'll get em.
