Have you tried hankooks? I have RS2's on my car and they are very good street/track tyre. Im on my seccond set. they might be too expensive though. Agreed that they look like they are 205/50/16 too

+1 for Hankooks, im running K107's and have been nothing short of super impressed with the grip for a street tyre.

Heh i think there's a bit of a common theme to this.... and all other tyre threads, they ain't cheap

Personally I would budget $250min for each tyre, and more if you want lower profile, wider track, etc.

Very happy with the RS2's They do not last a long time but are a very good road tyre that can be had for under $200 a corner for 16's.

Sumitomo, khumo, Continental and the hankook KT107's have never impressed me. The stock Bridgestone RE010's from the vanilla WRX are better.
