2006 sti. the winter tire is 225/45 17 same as re070's
buying it new doesn't matter. plenty of people have walked away from the dealerships with terrible alignments from the factory. Go get an alignment

car is back to normal! went out today bought an air compressor and digital pressure gauge, they had it set to 34psi on all four tires. set it back to 36/30 and the car is perfect!

now it bites hard into the corners with an almost neutral feel, I love it!!

thanks for the help guys!

weird that a few pounds of air pressure would make such a huge difference in the way the car felt.

This car is very very very picky about tire pressures. The last time I had it on a road course my rear tires were 1psi too high and after I adjusted them the car went from on-throttle understeer to neutral.
