im pretty sure when i get my wrx(late october) im gonna immediately take the dunlops off and put winter tires on the stock wheels. then when spring comes im gonna buy a 2nd set of wheels, i may get some 18s but definitely 8" wide and put some 245 wide pilot super sports on them. i dunno what very slightly used dunlops will be worth but im sure someone will want them. Michelin is just too good man.

so your telling me tire racks ratings are worthless? what a concept. i mean it wouldn't shock me but a lot of people swear by Michelin, a lot of testing has been done showing their tires are the best, could all be bogus sure but i haven't really heard someone say otherwise till now. can you point me towards some reading on the subject?

the thing is im going to end up with 2 sets of wheels no matter what. ive read that you really want a 8" wide wheel for 245s, witch i want(and lighter wheels than oem too). the wrx comes with 7.5" so the obvious choice is for that to be my winter set since ive also read that having slightly skinnier tires helps in snow.

you know i actually never noticed those numbers are simply customer survey results. i was very ignorant to assume they were actually based on some kind of scientific facts. michelin this year made some collaborations with big car you-tubers and they all spoke highly of michelin, again easily could be biased. well consider my bubble burst, this is not as simple as i thought.

yea they do come with 8" wide, i wonder where i read 7.5 thats odd. i cant get a premium or limited because they also come with a moonroof witch removes over 2" of headroom, i think the performance package deletes it but the car is just getting way too expensive at that point and i wanna choose my own exhaust when the time comes.
