    Well it's that time of year; need new tires. I have several options; but figured i'd get the factory wheels powder coated (dropped them off today) and get new tires on the factory wheels for cheaper than '19 tires.

    My main question is I kept two of the RE92s. Can I just buy two new RE92s and use all combined as a set of 4 to save me money, or Just go ahead and buy 4 new tires?

    From reading the posts, I have learned that you guys really like the REO1Rs, what other tires do you guys like for the factory WRX wheels?

    depends how much tread wear is on you old tires. It is my understanding that as little as a .25 inch difference can fuck up you differential so it is probably best to get 4 new tires

    yeah, always buy 4 new tires. subaru will void any warranty issues you have with the transmission if any of your tires are worn differently
