RE040's didin't arrive until a couple of years later. AFAIK the bugeye came with Bridgestone Potenza RE92.........It's a long time since my bugeye had OEM tyres though LOL
Just checked..........I'm wrong (at least for the jap models). Jap STi bug did indeed launch with RE040 rubber. I don't remember seeing them on UK cars when I bought my bug new in 2002 but my memory isn't what it used to be.
