what tires has the new wrx?
I don´t know how good or bad the 08 wrx is, but i wouldn´t buy one.
Ok the topspeed of the 08 ist a little low with 230hp for the autobahn.

the tires on the 08 WRX are the lovely Potenza RE92....... that came w/ the old WRX........... and my mom's Odyssey. It's suspected that the VW got the summer only tires.

i mean the size of the tires...
My WRX has Bridgsetone RE050, next maybe Hankook RS2 in 215mm.

I thought both has summer only tires?? A GTI has 17" or 18" with 225mm
I dont want drive fast with my Pirelli wintertires because they would melt :P . Only 16" 205
Pirelli snowsport210

But the WRX had never a super street "suspension"

highter than the NA model

Size is actually smaller than the previous years, 205/50/17. Summer tires arent even an option. I think in 05 they offered summer tires w/ the 17" wheels, which I think were RE011 tires.

205 allweather ?

I think the size here is the same but the WRX has real summer tires. I thnink also in the UK.
