I have found Falken FK452s to be a really good compromise between price and all round grip. They are as good as the yokohamas,toyos etc.. I have had fitted on my other scoobs. Big brands are not always best.

If you think toyo's are top end tyres then you have never had a decent tyre on your car

T1R's on a classic feel fantastic IMHO, Sessantas are awesome on my newage.
Tyre tests are all very well but at the end of the day nothing beats trying them yourself. People rate things from different expectations which aren't necessarily going to be the same as yours.

I could say the same about the Sessanta, check out how (badly) they've done in the group tests this year:

Getting back to the original post...Goodyear Assymetrics and Vredestein Sessantas are well regarded and are particularly suited to the Impreza as are Bridgestone RE070 . Others to consider are the Yokohama Parada Spec 2 and Michelin Pilot

Never liked 18s on a classic. I run 215/40-17 RS-R's on the road and track, and have a set of 225/40-17 Bridgestone 070's for the track.

Here, look at some of the scoob owners "favourites" and see how well the sessanta's actually do against them

No James but i did have F1 assys on the Spec C and they were crap compared to the sessantas.I now have the conti 5P on the RS6 and although the car is much heavier than the Spec C it feels grippier than the Spec C did.Also the latest tyre reviews put them on top but they are a top branded tyre rather than the mid range Vreds
