Question Best tire size for '04 STi w/stock wheels

Is there a wider tire than stock replacement size that fits well and has a comparable overall diameter?

My 070s are starting to wear out, and I'm looking at S0-3's and other high-end tires to replace them.

Thanks,

David

No, not really. But if you are less restrictive you could try 235/45s, or 235/40s. The former is wider and taller, the latter is wider & shorter than OE. Anything wider than that and you risk defeating the purpose of wider tires. (I say this b/c some people will tell you that 245/40s or maybe even 255/40s will fit, but those tires need a wider wheel or else they will 'balloon' and the tread won't really lay flat on the ground.)

Which 235's do people usually install on their stock '04 STi wheels?

Is it worth it??

Thanks,

David
