Mine, running around 420 from a forged 2.5, has, since it had it's first new tyres, always run on 17's with Toyo Proxes T1S or T1R in 215/40 x17.
Wheels are standard WRX from an 03 car.

Car's been SORN'd since, 2018, currently being resprayed etc.

So, the current tyres have 5-6 mm tread, but haven't been in use for some time.

Tyres move on... what's the current thinking?

Remember: this is a 98 classic, 17's and coilovers.
It's NOT the same beast as later cars.
TIA.

 

Hi,

I'm running the STi wheels of about the same era so 225/45/17 and have Michelin Pilot Sport 4's and they are a superb all rounder.
Was thinking to try the nankang NS-2R next time as i don't need an all round ability tyre and the firmer sidewalls could bring an improvement.

Why don't you think you need an all rounder?
Track days only?

 

Sorry was away.

Spare car and don't tend to take it out in the wet to try and save the rot !
