+4 if had two sets of them (K107) very grippy and handle well in the wet

+5 for the Hankook K107. So much wet + dry grip and with a treadwear rating of 280 (pretty high for a performance tyre) you can't go wrong.

This thread might help: K107 vs RS-2 vs RE050

I had the Bridgestones, now have Yoko A Drive R1's. Would go the Bridgestone again over the Yoko's, but I haven't tried the S drives.

+7 (8? 9?) for the K107s

Great everyday, all round tyre that does well in wet & dry. Ran them in 225/40/18. Usually good prices on them are out there if you do your research (esp. interstate)

I can't see you having any fitment troubles between the two, Damo. Any idea on what tyre you're going to go for yet?

Will the STi rims be staying gold or are you going to paint/powdercoat?

. . . . black will look sweet on your car

um ok well maby i dont mean fitment issues i mean like getting the widest possible tyre that will fit on the 17x7 wrx rim then realising that its not actually that wide when i go to get the sti rims they arnt actually that wide liek would i be able to get a decent width tyre that fits the sti rim really well?

um im looking at either hankook r-s2 or yokohama s-drives

yeh and im not 100% sure what colour yet i just wana get the rims first hahahaha
