Hi all i have just upgraded to a set of Newage Sti rims 17" for my classic shape impreza. What make and size of tyre does anyone recommend? I was after something like a 215/45/17 but there are some many varied opinions on make . I was thinking of spending about £300 for a set.
Any suggestions?


Thanks Ryan.

Go for 215/40 ZR 17 on a Classic with 17s.

Toyo Proxes if on a budget though personally I think they aren't great but other will disagree.

Goodyear Eagle F1s are better.

Don't skimp on tyres

toyos decent road and track
re 070s road noise bad
eagle f1 very good all round handling track and road
khumos good road tyres not best in wet at high speed

I have had all of the above .

as above, 215/40/17 is the size you want for a Classic as maintains the same (or as close as you can get) rolling radius as the original tyres

with regard to tyres, opinions vary, but again as above Goodyear Eagle F1's are very good, especially in the wet, but aren't cheap and can wear quickly

I rate Falken FK-452's on a budget, good grip, good wear and well priced

215/40/17 I like my Toyo T1R's, run them at 37f35r and they are spot on
