Subaru wrx turbo Tyres

These replaced a worn set of Michelin PS2 which I liked. As the PS2 is getting a bit long in the tooth, I decided to try out a set of PS3s. After scrubbing them in over a few miles, I soon found myself in familiar territory as they feel very similar to the PS2 (which is a good thing). They are just as precise and progressive as the PS2, and even a tad quieter. I can't comment on wear yet, but they look fine after a rather spirited forst 1000miles. Highly recommended for a high performance daily driven car.

Was a little surprised at the outstanding performance .put them on my Rex love them there quiet and handle beautifully and are wearing surprisingly well only one regret should have got new time time and gone a little bigger and wider but can not complain love em

I bought 4 new 215 45 17 to replace what was already on my 2002 impreza 285bhp wrx, and have covered just over 20k in 18months on them and notice they are coming up for replacement in the next few thousand miles or so. Even wear across all 4 tyres which is expected from an awd only thing is it means replaceing all 4 together!. The grip I have in wet and dry conditions is impressive even with the high spirited accleration from the roundabouts in the wet, they still make the car feel fully seated to the tarmac and must admit have only ever heard a slight squeal from them in the dry. Roads noise is getting louder the more the tyres are wearing and i've now noticed the aquaplaning across the road is far more noticeable as the tyres are aging.
If i can still find them i will replace with the same but think they'r going to be hard to find now. So wil be looking for alternatives.

so far this tires are comparable with yokohama dna s.drive i had before, brake on dry and wet are fine, just not that much feedback compared with yokohamas, but much more confortable and quiet. as i drove only few miles yet, will revisit to finish this review later. sidewalls are little bit simple, could be a little more agressive, looks like no brand.

comfy quiet .press on they squeel in dry when new.like car sat on jelly
not perfomance tyre maybe 5 miles extra a tank because im driving like old lady.ONLY RESERVATION WOULDNT WANT A BLOW OUT ON THESE really soft side walls
apart from that all good

I have had 4 of these fitted to my WRX for over a year now, they grip just fine in the dry, in the wet they are ample for driving within the speed limits. Wear wise, they are still very fresh (circa 6k so far), noise could be improved a little. They are definitely a step up over their previous incarnations which seemed to be made of roller boot plastic. I am surprised at the comments stating lethal, dangerous etc.

Ive had these on my car for about 8k now and for a cheap tyre they perform very well and wear is ok. yes they are a budget tyre and obviously will be out performed buy some premium brands but for the price they are very good indeed and take soem provacation before letting go.
reading through some of the comments it is laughable do people really expect to a tyre to grip when driven to the limit in winter with the icey condition and low ground/tyre temps i think some of the people commenting need to adjust their driving style before they hurt themselves or someone else.
yes i would buy these tyres againg and will be having a new set fitted shortly.

tires are ok for non turbo cars and average driving style. as i like to push hard sometimes, the tires showed their limits fast. confortable, high noise after half life, really not for sport cars. reaching the 3mm tires are dangerous breaking, on dry and wet. changed for nexen N1000 and they are far better on dry and wet, and very quiet too. N1000 are almost the same level of yokohama dna s.drive i had before, just not that much feedback. definitely i recomend nexen N1000 instead.

If you've been driving a s***box with four mismatched tyres then, yes, the Fast Responses are going to feel amazing. I was incredibly disappointed. I fitted these to my WRX STi which usually runs Bridgestone Potenzas to save a bit of cash before selling the car and was immediately let down. The grip is OK, in fact once they settle down in a corner the grip levels are good, but the feel of the tyres is terrible. There's way to much flex in the sidewalls and turning in at high speed feels like being on ice. I'm not talking about a racetrack either, I'm talking about changing lanes on a freeway.
