Paul Mitchell Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Have 2003 WRX? Who can recommend a tire that gives good traction while giving superior highway mileage? Never taken off road and rarely see snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strakes Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Did you take a look at www.tirerack.com ? If not, look at all the reviews/ratings for individual tires at that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I have over 90,000 miles on a set of Goodyear Weatherhandler LS. Probably another 20,000 miles until I hit the wear bars, although I'll replace them before that. Not sexy, but they handle well and wear like iron.

JT95 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I just bought some Dayton Daytona HR tires for my Legacy and love them. I can corner like a madman on these things compared to what was on there. They don't have quite the mileage rating for a real long time like you might get from other model tires (40,000 mile warranty), but they are performance tires speed rated at H and depending on what you are replacing, you should like the feel of them. They have a 30 day test drive--not for sure how much of a hassle it is to return tires on this policy, as I liked mine and kept them. BTW, I live in an area where we don't get a lot of snow and I don't take my Subie off road. So far, these things do seem to go really well in the rain, which is what I wanted--something safe in the rain and able to let me play racecar driver on the dry days. I noticed no change is gas mileage after putting these on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Bridgestone Potenza 720. I have racked up about 30k miles on these very grippy and predictable tyres. Then I took the car for a track day.... With normal use, I would expect mileage in excess of 40k. This is really very good indeed, considering the grip this tyres offers - also in wet weather.
