I have 16 inch alloys from 1998 subaru impreza wrx sti

and I'm thinking about buying

FOUR BRAND NEW 205/55/16 VR NANKANG TYRES

Obviously I've copy and pasted here just to make sure I get all details correct. The fella said to ask Subaru but 30miles is a long trip, someone here must know? Will they fit

205/50/16 is the usual size for 16" wheels on a classic Impreza.

Just bear in mind with cheap tyres...you pay for what you get.
Remember that when you slide backwards on a wet road into a tree

Stick with the main leading brands if you want the car to handle well and safely in the wet.

It's a wrx sti!

Its a performance car, so fit performace tyres! I find toyo proxes and uniroyal rainsports good.

However, Just checked and I find nankangs for 35 quid each and rainsports and proxes for about 70 each. Not really a car for those on a budget!
