Yep, mounted mine today. No more Escort and new shoes for the 8! My plan for tomorrow is to hit the back roads, contribute to global warming, and erase all memory of the long winter with the Escrotum from my mind.

Aight, just got these suckers mounted. Turn-in is just badass. Will see how the tramlining is when I hit the freeway. So far I'm impressed.

It defintely feels like my S03's have better turn-in. Tomorrow to break in the new rubber. Overtime is nice, but five 12-hour shifts in a row puts a real cramp on my cruising time!

I have had these on for a couple weeks now and they stick like glue to the road.

Thanks for the tip.

Ordered them up and slapped em on. I'm impressed so far. I'm running them at 32 psi for daily driving. What are you guys running?

In the past I've generally run closer to 42 psi on the street when I drove a Subie, but I'm thinking it's kind of unnecessary now. Just by a quick feeldown of the tire, the heat seems pretty uniform (these things sure make some heat just driving regular, hmmm ya 220 treadwear, I believe it).

I run them at 35 psi for a little more sidewall stiffness.

I just got these mounted as well. Grip and turn-in is amazing. Road noise is down a lot too, but of course anything is quieter than the stock Potenza Re040's that were on there.

Ride quality seems to suffer a tiny bit, I have to say. When just cruising, going over small bumps in the road, things are a tiny bit more jarring in the cabin. It's only a slight difference and, being a young indifferent man I don't really care, but it's definitely something I noticed. I guess just due to the stiffer sidewall.

Overall, can't beat this for the price...I wonder if they still have any in stock...

Note: They were mounted on brand new rims as well (same size rims) but I'm assuming that won't significantly affect the ride feel? Hope my comparison is accurate...
