Yes mate. Were fitted to mine when I brought it. Only done about 8k and plenty of life left althought I do not drive it like its stolen.

Pretty good in the dry. Fronts tend to slide a little then bite.

Not fantastic in the wet but being on the car when i brought it i have nothing to compare against.

Hope that helps

I've just had some fitted to my wrx 05, they feel terrible. Feels like they are low on pressure! What pressures have you got in yours? Mine are 34 front 32 back!

ST-X

Toyo's have soft sidewalls so try upping the pressure to 36-36 and see how that works. Equalizing the pressure may help with a bit of slide in corners, reducing corner loads on the front tyres and reducing overloading, hopefully improving feel. Worth a shot I'd have thought. They were pretty decent tyres when they were first launched but the game's moved on a lot in the intervening 8 years and they're not as good comparatively as they once were. Still good on the price/performance ratio though.

Fat Boy

Al tyres feel terrible until the release agent has worn off fully - say 2/300 miles

Got Toyo's on my STi and before Goodyear eagles assy 2.I found the Goodyear to be a better tyre.

Why do subaru drivers love these tyres so much!!!!

My most recent Impreza - Hawkeye I bought had these on when I bought them, I knew they were crap before I even tested them out. Changed to Bridgestone RE050A 18" tyres for £400 and they were infinitely better.

Much better, stiffer side walls. More grip. In the wet they are a world apart too. Toyos are terrible.

This is what you want in either 18" or 17" depending on the wheels you have....
