Would these be a good choice? Not for my Subaru, for my BMW 530d.

I'm loving them on my RS

Hundreds of times better than my old RE070s on the STI

TopBanana

Thanks chaps. I've ordered some for fitting tomorrow. £600 though

Mikkel

Krikey! You must have puff daddy's alloys on or something

The price is starting to rise rapidly on these due to their popularity. I got a set of 275/30/19's for £612 in January.

I paid £400 for 225/45/17s in January, best tyres I've had I'd say.

Ur RS is beautiful btw, awesome car.
Whats the comparison like to your old Subaru? I don't mean speed either!
lol.

pippyrips

Cheers, speed is similar up to 100 then the RS wins.

Build quality and cabin finish are to die for, oh and the V8 sound through a non-resonated/non valved exhaust All in all its a far better car but then it should be for the money!

Still wouldn't mind having the the old girl by the side though

Mikkel

I paid that a week ago - fitted and balanced. Still wearing mine in but can already feel a massive improvement over the RE070s. I can hear my stereo now too, which is nice

Mine are 245-45-18. Don't know why they're so pricey, if I went for 225 width they'd be £400. Also have to buy a 'spare wheel kit' for £180 as it's currently on runflats and doesn't have one. Let's hope it's worth it

Mikkel

Oh sorry wait, think mine were 245 if that is the standard size on MY06 STI 17" wheels. I'd shop around mate, seems pricey.

I was initially quoted £140 a corner until I made a few calls myself.
