Legacy Wagon Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I need to get new tires for my RS. 205/60/R16's, I believe. What are your guys opinions on the best tires? I live in Florida so I never see snow so it can be a wet/dry tire but I'd prefer to have some insight on any good all season tires in case I decide to drive up north for vacation or something. I used to use the Falken FK452's on my WRX, but I dont know if there's a cheaper tire that will handle as well. Those tires were incredible and they were pretty cheap, around $85 a piece when I got them. Anyone have any recommendations? I doubt I'll be taking this one offroad. That's what the Legacy's for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Right now I'm running Toyo Proxes4 on my RS wheels. They are great as a wide tire, great in the wet weather and in dry. You don't have to worry about snow, so these will work where you live all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cant find those :/ You got them on the stock 5 spoke golds? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+GT&partnum=06VR6GT Heard anything about these? They seem decent and the price is appealing lol How much were the Toyo's per tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Wagon Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Like junk yard tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberluvsblue07 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 no like tires that instead of being brand new are just refurbished with recycled rubber they are cheaper than Brand new ties but junkyard tires are a good choice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Well the only problem I have with those is that I rode with a semi driver for a while that used to get recaps and they weren't exactly reliable. Also I'd be concerned with throwing tires with a bunch of different tread depths on there since it's an older AWD system. I'm cheap, but when it comes to tires I'll get new ones lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 if you live in florida with no snow, get summers. direzza star specs are the best for the price. 205/55/16 is what you want. 60 is too tall. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+Sport+Z1+Star+Spec&partnum=055VR6Z1SS&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes it says they come with a $50 mail in rebate too. can't go wrong.

I dont know how much difference that little bit would make in the sidewall, but I guess any extra stiffness and traction would help. How do they stack up to the Falken FK452's? How long do they last? They're good in dry and wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
