Tires NITTO or GENERAL TIRE
I've had no issues with all season 17's on mine, but when I put the General Altimax Arctics on the car, it was FANTASTIC.
I can say that the nitto motivo doesn't suck. Tires for my wrx are always listed as 'ultra high performance' and rarely do much more than 30k miles. These are listed as 60K tires, they perform better than both bridgestone potenza (summer) and nitto's neogens
After reading some reviews and looking at pictures of stretched tires in different sizes, I purchased four Nitto Neo Gens in 205/45/ZR17.
I threw on my 4th set of Nitto Gens... Ugh, I love these thangs... Ran 25k with -3.5deg camber and had nothing but even wear on the tires. Hence why I bought another set.
on my second set. i love em. they are super quiet, grippy and soft but dont wear too fast and very comfy.
I love mine, I've got 30k on my current set. Only complaint is they get pretty loud as they wear down. Great on snow and rain.
Neo Gens are good tires. Good for camber wear and they are not directional so you can flip them.
The front wheels are 18x8 with 245/45/18 Nitto 555s and the rears are 18x9.5 with 285/45/18 Nitto 555r drag radials.
i'm looking at a set of 9.5 in a 44et all the way around.. i have a 9.5 35et 245 on my rear now and i rub like crazy on bumps..
I switched my winter tires for summers back on the Miata and noticed something odd. There are parts of the tread in the center on every tire that just seemed to have fallen off at some point. I bought the tires in 9/2015 and they had a 1012 build date. I was quite upset with Tire Rack that they would send me 3.5 year old tires advertised as new but they said there was nothing they could do. I ran them winter of 2015/2016 and again this current 2016/2017 winter. Last year they didn't have this separation and I have no idea what happened. I don't think it's something small that I ran over since it happened to all 4 tires. They're 175/65/14 General Altimax Arctics by the way.
