They were 235/40/18. They were the best tires I have owned hands down. I've had SO2s, SO3s, Pirelli Rossos, and the PS2s. The PS2s had less road noise than the stockers - can't really compare vs the others as they were on my old S4 (which had much much more sound deadening). Grip was fantastic in the dry and almost as good in the wet. They are also lighter than most. I didn't have them on long enough to talk about treadwear, but they looked almost new when I took them off after almost two months.
Only downside is the price 230+ at tire rack (where I bought them). I would have gotten the Goodyear Eagle F1s, but they were backordered for a while when I was getting the tire/wheel combo. Its a great match with the STi - ride quality was as good if not better than the stockers even though it was a lower profile tire. THey also run a bit wide and I was concerned when they arrived as I had ordered the 235 width. I didn't have any problems rubbing (not once) although I was on stock suspension. Hope that helps.

thx for the info.. I've heard they are great tires. I was going to get 225's but if you didn't have any problems with 235's I'll prolly get that size instead. My car is a few inches lower than stock.. btw will your ssrs fit over the big brembos?
