'05 STi, 19" tyres, need advice pls
Getting an '05STi soon, nice example, but it has 19" alloys on it, which are going to cost a bomb in new tyres.
So what size is best 225 or 235/35/19 ?
Where's the best place/price to get new ones from? I was thinking Falken (any good?) as they are fairly cheap £100 a corner from camskill.
Avon ZZ3's (£90) ?
Nankang budget jobs? (£73)
Discuss please.

Not much more than RE-070's really !
Enjoy the "New-Age" experience, I loved my classic but after nearly five years the "bug" STI was enough to tempt me to up-grade.

My Catalunya had "no-pots" on the front

P.S. Not my car as it's black, but search the garage....

Hi, I have 19x8.5 inch wheels on my 2010 STI, they had some nasty Nexen 245/35 ZR19 tyres (if you want to make me an offer, although maybe not!) just replaced them with with some Michelin Pilot Sport 3s 255/35 ZR19 - I can't call them cheap but they do fit the wheel arches nicely and grip even after a couple of hundred miles is amazing...
