2006 Subaru WRX tires

[Tony Hwang]

Hi,
Time for a set of new stock size summer tires.
Mostly freeway driving and would like to have good traction
in rain. Any suggestions? Budget is flexible.
TIA

I REALLY like my Kumho ECSTA ASX-es

cheap, but they probably won't last a long time.

I purchased Bridgestone Pole Position about 5K miles ago and love
them....before I used to have Continental Extreme Contact which were
also amazing except a bit softer sidewalls....

Tony,

I considered summer only tires for my '04 WRX, and also for my wife's
2005 Outback 6. I use Blizzaks on the Outback and Cooper Vikings on
the WRX for upstate NY winters, but eventually decided on all-seasons
for the 9 months the snows are off the car. I'm currently using Conti
Extreme Contacts on the WRX and Goodyear Eagle F1s on the Outback.
Reason being that our winters can last from October into April, and
both tires got excellent reviews for dry road performance and
especially wet traction and hydroplaing resistance since we're in a
very rainy area with our average annual rainfall exceeding Seattle and
San Francisco. Several reviewers claimed that the Eagles and Contis
outperformed many summer tires. Can't say that's true in all cases,
but the combinations work very well on both cars. Bought both the
Contis and the Eagles from Tire Rack, the Goodyears on a set of Kazera
rims. Very happy with the products and their service.

I have Toyo Proxes for my summers. I find they are great performers, have
good traction, both wet and dry, and are reasonably priced for a performance
tire.
