Default Tires for bad roads

Hi,

I have a WRX MY02 with 17" wheels. I drive a lot in eastern europe where
the roads are bad (not maintained well). I need to by new tires and wonder
what tire I could choose best for this type of roads.

Thanks,

Camille

you could try some of the michelin pilot primacy's,very hard wearing but still with plenty of grip,they are expensive tho...IIRC they retail at about £158.00.

dont go anywhere near pirellis. simillar poor road in kenya and my p6000's only lasted about 8000 miles before 2 off them had bubbles in them and had to be replaced with minimal wear.

I've got goodyear eagle f1s but im sure these arent great on bad roads. you should maybe try fitting tyres made for the Forester (SUV tyres)
