Question

Does anyone have experience of these tyres. I have been told they are all good grippy brands with a firm sidewall so should be suited to the Impreza! Mid-cost range

Cheers

Mick

Hi Mick,

Recently bought a MY98 Terzo fitted with ZZ1s. Gonna change them straight away though. They cause too much understeer and grip in the wet is s**t!

If you do a search on this BBS on them I don't think you'll find one good comment.

Seems that SO2s are the most widely recommended.

Cheers

Thumbs down

My STi came fitted with Nankangs by the importer. Rock solid they may be, but I think it will take 30,000 miles to wear them down. So far I have invoked the ABS twice (in the dry) and I don't exactly drive like a loon.

So, they are coming off as soon as poss, as I intend to enjoy the scoob to its full potential with a nice set of Toyo's.

You are most welcome to make an offer for a set of 4 Nankangs though, to save them gathering dust in the garage!

Thumbs up

Thanks for the advice. I am now the proud owner of brand spanking set of Goodyear Eagle F1s. I nearly paid £119 each but the guy didn't have them in stock. Ended up getting all 4 for just under £320 all-in - 'Imagine my Surprise!'

A very happy Mick
