I've just put Uniroyal rainsports on the front of mine, so far so good and a fair price without being budget ditchfinders!
I paid 110 per corner however I've got 235/40/ R18's.Yours should be well under £100.

The potenzas are one of the better tyres IMO for the warmer weather conditions, that's what I run on mine (RE070), however they are less than average IMO in the colder weather, I currently have them on mine and have run them through all the bad wether recently, Lets just say I will never run them again through winter, they don't inspire confidence at all in this cold, damp greasy conditions, that's my out look on it anyway

I need two tyres for MOT in 3 weeks
I have always bought tyres from camskill they seem reasonable and never had a problem....I was thinking Falken this time?!

With you on that. I have them all round on my Spec D, and doubt I'll bother again.
Sure, they take away tramlining by 95%, but the walls aren't stiff enough, and create...for me...more body roll.
Never felt too confident in the wet with them either.
RE070's for me next time I think, after all, I find them much much more responsive, stiffer and grippier compound.
Tramlining makes you grab the steering wheel harder, keeps you on your guard, increases the general driving of the Impreza experience.

Cheers for the info.. They have a very interesting tread pattern, almost like a cut slick. Glad to hear there good in the wet too.

I have T1R-s on the front and Yokahama A306 on the rear, all new the fronts needed replacing and went for the Toyo, they are a bit softer on the side wall but do grip well.
Will be replacing the rears with the same as the Yokahama I fell have less grip
Just my opinion and all have their own preference
