Exclamation What Are The Best Tires For my 06 STi?

I have really low tread on my RE070s and i want to go 235 maby 240 (dont want to put too much pressure on the lateral links, diff & trans and trailer links). I kinda want to get the advans that are on the evo but...dont know of anyone who has done it and how they work.


I know everyone is going to be bias about the tires they bought and say they are the best but please be detailed on ur description. If u got pics post them if not post the name and i will add the pic of it in a quote for everyone to see.

Hate to sound cliche, but search. I know there are a ton of threads on tires. All types, from snows to track only. It all depends on how you plan to use them.

The advans are great, you can typically find takeoffs on evolutionm.net.

i have the general exclaimUHP's and love them. i hant driven on a better tire is a LONNGGGGG time. they out-perform the toyos, pirellis, BS, kuhmo, and alot of other tires in our size. ( i would know, i work in a shop and unfortunatelly do alot of tires). id look into those man, i paid like 75 a piece off tire rack for them.

Eagle F-1's, Falken RT615's, RE070, etc.. Best is subjective. It depends on the condition you want to run them in.

IMO the RE070 is the best dry weather tire for Subies.

Advan Neova AD07 is a better compromise for both dry and wet. The Falken F452 isn't bad either.

As for wet weather tire, anything with a good aqua-flow tread pattern I think is fine. Goodyear F1 and the likes.

How much $ do you want to spend? You could always get RE070's again...but in 255.

i would have to go with 235/45/17s with the advan a048's. they are the best track dry tire you can get for your money, the a046'es are good, but they wear very fast. and once they become hot, they are crap!!!. i loved my a048's on my evo. so go for thows!!!

Haha, don't worry about that, Dali Racing is a legit place to buy. I've bought a bunch of stuff for my nsx from them.
