Ah, my heart is torn between Bridgestone's and Nokian's...Both look awesome... Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi http://www.etires.com/tireSpec.jsp?specID=367 Nokian...
I've driven on both. Nokian Hakka, hands down. Why? Because they handle snow and ice every bit as well if not better, but are far, far better behaved when...
I would highly recommend the Nokians. In my experience, they have a stronger sidewall and longer usable life that the Blizzaks. That makes for better...
WOW!!! Thanks EVERYONE for the great advice!!! I guess the Nokian's have a huge following of very happy owners. I'm going to be getting on the phone right...
Had Nokian WRs on the minivan past few winters ... good snow-slush tire. Just got PZero Nero M+Ses for the WRX wagon, because CT doesn't see too much snow and...
Ryan, Not sure if you've ordered your Nokians yet. I got mine through Anderson Motorsport (http://www.andersonmotorsport.com/) Anderson Motorsport, Inc. 7700...
Thank you for your reply. I bought the Hakka RSi's through www.etires.com for about $135.99/each. I feel that price is pretty fair. Also, I'm not sure by...
Ryan, Yeah, keep me posted if those RSi really is what they claim. I do track my car and have dedicated summer tires. I only choose the WR because most of the...

I have a set of 225/45/17 wheels/tires on my '02 WRX and I'd like to know if they would fit on a Legacy Wagon and Outback. Can somebody help? I might be...
Ya, it'll work. I've had WRX wheels on my Legacy this summer. I think the only Subaru to change wheel pattern diameter is the STi. Todd Erickson Dave Steffens...
Seems to me I heard that the new Legacy has the same bolt pattern as the 05 STi, but don't quote me on that - I'm sure someone on here knows better. It would...
I can tell you that the bolt pattern is the same across STi, WRX and Legacy. I do not know about offset so make sure you look closely for interference. Mark ...
I recently bought a midnight black 02 wrx...kid had a huge wing on the trunk and a lip that goes on the bumper...they're both in ok shape... the wing will need...

Here's a question for you gearheads and WRC geeks: So I'm watching Corona Rally Mexico on the Speed Channel. At one point, Nicky Grist does a walk-around of...
... Well, at least on the tires Grist did a little segment comparing Petter's to the others. Petter's had a tighter, more closed tread block which was supposed...

1) As far as I understand, Subaru changed the front faring/wind dam so that it did not create as much downforce. If I remember correctly, the reason Petter...
I've read this before too and it makes sense, but why does my turbocharged engine seem to react negatively to cold weather than other cars I've owned? My butt...
Those are excellent questions. Dynamic compression is a very, very complex science and I would love to get into this conversation. Now, with that starter,...
Hm, I'll need some coffee before I can even start that thread (college was a long time ago). But some simpler explanations could be 1) Intercooler less...
