hi all


I know this is probably goin to open a can of worms and probably been done before


what is a good set of tyres for a wrx hatch on 17's


at the moment I have the Goodyear efficient grip performance.


I'm considering staying they are nice and quiet they haven't warn to bad,
I only need a front really as it seems my tracking is out and has warn the inside of my drivers front tyre


and I don't want to mix and match I want all the same


the car is a daily driver does 20 miles a day and the odd long distance every now and then and it has around 300bhp


any suggestions


or shall I just upgrade to 18's

The tyres you have are highly rated for rain, life and noise which means its not going to be a sporting tyre. Grip usually means high wear rate.

If you are happy with them, stick to them (Uniroyal Rainsport 3 are a similar tyre).

Most tyres talked about on here will be based on grip and not life.... so tread carefully (excuse the pun)

lol
I would like a little bit more grip

guess there isn't a perfect tyre

One thing is usually an offset of the other.
Maybe a punt at the Rainsport 3 might be a good compromise?
Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are always well spoken of, but they will not last as long as an Eco tyre...
