Might have found a great deal on a set of 225/45/17 91Y Good Year AS2's.

Is 91Y correct for the Newage WRX and do I need the extra load ones?
Will standard load tyres be ok?

 

I'd want XL tyres if it were me, it'll probably end up chewing away the outer edge.

 

Is this more aimed at added protection for track days or a lot of spirited driving?

I wouldn't have thought that I wouldn't need them for tootling around town and the odd blast.

Only running around 240bhp and standard suspension.

 

Pretty sure the 91Y are the XL ones Chris.

The 87Y are non-XL.

Either are within spec for a 2005 WRX but generally more of the 91Y are sold so they are cheaper by a couple of quid anyway (mytyres.co.uk for instance)!

 

Spirited driving.

Put it this way, I put PS2's (non XL version) on an STI, the front tyres were fcuked after approx 6K.
Geometry settings were fine by the way.

 

Apparantly the 94Y is the XL rating, according to the seller.
But after a bit of research each tyre is rated to hold 615kg.

Hmm, they are cheap though, at £270 delivered!

 

Appreciate your input.

I have heard the PS2's are quite soft though.

That's a 225 not a 215.

Doh! Which is what you mentioned in your first post... ignore me... it's been a hard weekend! Yes you're right!

 

Ha ha, no worries. I thought I was losing it!

Think I am going to go the deal.

 

No I am losing it

They are within the spec for the car though so they'll be fine

If you go to Goodyear's site they have a facility to confirm whether they are right for your car or not.

 

Cool. Will do that in a bit.

So, new goodyear tyres and having my wheels refurbished is only going to set me back £430. £160 for the refurb and he will fit the new tyres. (mate of a mate who I am paying cash!)

It was either that or get the front end resprayed. But now we are coming up to winter, think i'll wait to tidy the front end up now until the new year.

It is all coming together slowly.

Cheers for the help Chris.
