What tyres??

[Greig]

Anyone have any recomendations for a classic impreza sti? Mainly use it for fast road/ track use. (toy).
I have looked into either: Toyo Proxes, Falken XL's or Yokohama Parada spec 2's?
Thanks

[Scott.T]

Out of those 3, toyo's....

Parada IMHO are a bit of a pub talk tyre and are v.poor in the wet.

I know wat you mean about Yoko's in the wet had them on a cav when i was younger sent me into a spin!!

would never buy yoko's again. Also a very bad experience on a rainy day
I have falkens which im quite happy with in all conditions

Ihave the yoko's,Fantastic in the dry,Poo in the wet.,Which doesnt matter at all to me as only use car in the dry.

Mind you i will be buggered if its wet in germany

RE070 if they fit your wheels. They can cope with standing water and last longer than Toyo R888/Yoko A048/ Dunlop DZ 02/ Dunlop DZ 03 with only a slight trade off with dry grip and can be had for £90-something a corner and don't drone in the cabin unlike the trackday rubber.

I ran Michelin Pilot Sports in the winter and they were great but now the weather it drier the RE070's are back on.

If you're feel like spending even more, maybe some Michelin Pilot Sport Cups but like the R888's et al don't like the wet.

AWD has the advantage of putting the power down it's just the cornering and stopping in the wet you need to worry about

experienced the putting the power down in the wet coming out of Adenau once had a 911 behind me coming into Adenau Bridge and decided after the uphill right hander I'd pull over to let him by only when I checked my mirrors he was no where in sight

The exit of Ex-Muhle (and the Lauda-Link after it) is a notorious piece of track for 911's especially Turbo's.
