Tirerack: $129 S03 225/45/18
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.
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 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...
