Tires Toyo or OEM Subaru

The Nexens don't stretch worth a damn, the federals aren't much better. If you want the stretch and need it to work the Toyo T1-R is your best bet.

I absolutely love my T1R's they stretch very well. here they are on a 9.5 and an 8.5"

I love my T1-R's. a 195 on a 7", the sidewall is completely flat and right in line with the edge of the wheel. they stretch very well on an 8"

Toyo T1R's on 8.5" rims. They stretched awesome. Ride nice and stiff as to be expected. So far they've been great.

That being said I've had Toyo tires a few times and I've been happy every time

It's an '09 2.5 Special Edition auto. Likes: Fairly \"sporty\" feeling. Lots of features for what it's costing me. decent stereo. Cons: weak engine. drivers seat doesn't go back far enough. armrest is awful. fuel economy sucks for a car this size. crappy stock tires.

Toyo Proxes 4 (note: not the FZ4). Had them on my Integra GSR and would be my 1st choice when it comes time to replace the tires on my JSW.

Used to run 195/40/17 Toyo's on my mk2.

The tires I had on my 20th were recalled because of some side wall crakcing that caused them to leak air and les schwab sold me a set of 225/40/18 Toyo somehting or other for $312 out the door because of the hassle I went through with the recalled set I bought from them.

Based on the fact of how much I hate my Toyo Proxy 4's (235/45/17)and the lack of response I received by contacting Toyo I will no longer consider that brand for anything.
