AHhahahah, yeah... But they vary GREATLY. You can't even compare the potenzas that come stock on the WRX Vs these.

Potenza in Italian means Power.

Fricken amazing deal. I know this is a blow out before the RE011R's come out next month, but for ~$100 that's so worth it to me as I'm not trying to win competitions.

Got my 225/45/17s!

Thanks OP for posting this up!!!

why do i not see any prices lower than $150 for 16"? even if i add it to my cart...its labeled "special" but that size has always been $150

FWIW potenza 050's are amazing! of course if you find a good price. They last me about 15K miles? 5/8 city 3/8 turns

You have to completely follow thru with the checkout to see the discounted prices. So after you select your zip and billing zip you get to the final stage of checkout and the price is discounted. I was wondering the same thing. $550 shipped for 245/40 is a deal!
