The falkens were on my subaru when I bought it...which I wasnt happy about. They are just one up from a budget really IMO. I've got goodyear eagle F1 GSD3's on it now and I would recommend them. Great performance wet and dry! It depends how you drive the car really, but I would never put a budget on something that is capable of the speeds an Impreza is.
