Hmmm,

I went with Assy 2's again on all four wheels as they were a pretty good tyre for all season work and I am running 235-40's R18.

I only saw your thread on subaruforester BonesX after I had bought them, but kind of wish I had tried the S001's as I believe they are a new version this year?

btw are you on 225-45's or 235-40's?

Anyhow, the Goodyear F1 Assy 2's are a good all year tyre especially if you don't run winters like me!

I don't think you'll go far wrong with the Assy 2's. The sidewall may be softer than others (S001's especially), but their dry & wet grip levels are right up there

Yeah, I went 45's. The 40's for me look a little small in the arch

Just bought a set of RE070s for my new (to me) version 9 sti having had them on my version 8 and being pleased with them. Think prices have dropped a bit since I bought the previous set a couple of years ago. My only criticism is they tramline a bit at slower speeds but I can live with that.

I've wanted to try that tyre for a while now, but for some reason I thought the RE070 was discontinued :wonder:

What size have you got, and where were they bought from?

Cheers

225/45/17. I think the RE040 was discontinued which I think was standard fitment on the impreza at the time. I got mine from Broadway tyres, Farnham common (nr Beaconsfield/High Wycombe) but think you can get them anywhere although they may need ordering in. I can recommend them but don't have too much to compare them with on a newage
