matter of hours before I finally get my first WRX... Howver have tried a lot of different tyres on my 200sx (which is 320hp at the rear wheel). The ones I have found the best value are Yokohana C or S drives (the size 225 x 45 17inch) the c drives these days are called c drive 2.
The only real difference is the speed rating. For s drives it is a 300km/h tyre and the c slightly less (don't have the stats in front of me right now). Since I doubt very much that I will hit anything even close to that speed the c drive is fine. I had a new set put on last month (they didn't carry any s drive in my size any more), which costs me $260 a tyre. As some one else in thread had said, they are awesome in wet and dry, corner very well and stop when you need them to. |

Put the STi 225/45R17 sizing on. Larger footprint, and will remove the built in speedo inaccuracy
Yokohama C.drive 2 on clearance currently $168 each Kumho HS51 $145 each Nexen N6000 $135 each HTH |

I'm using Hankook RS-3 at the moment, they were $270 each for 245/40R17s (on 9" rims) I am very happy with them.
I was running 215 KU39s on the factory 7" alloys but they had a lot of road noise on a lot of surfaces (our roads are pretty rough around here) and surprisingly the RS-3s are a lot quieter. The KU39s were about $140 each from memory. The performace was great but the noise was annoying. I have them in the shed with only about 1-2k km on them and might use them once my RS-3s are due for replacement. I haven't used KU36s myself but the prices from international tyre trader are good if you are running 17x7 wheels. $136 per tyre and the postage is very reasonable. KUMHO 215/45R17 87W ECSTA XS KU36 The reason I skipped the KU36s is that they are noisier than the KU39 but if that doesn't bother you then have a look at a lot of reviews before buying any. |
