Seems to be a great tire from what I have read and seen so far. Let us know if we can help you with a set. I'd like to see a review from a WRX owner. What tires are you running now and what type of a tire are you looking for?

Sorry DiscountTire, I just noticed you actually started this thread so it's not really nice of me to mention your competition like I did. I just did a quick search for tire prices and I thought I should probably cite where I got the information from so people don't think I'm just making things up. I actually just ordered a set of Michelins from DiscountTireDirect.com and saved about $70.00 over TireRack.com's price thanks to a special promotion you guys were running at the time. Without that $70.00 promotional coupon, the total price (including shipping) for the same set of tires from both TireRack.com and DiscountTireDirect.com was +/- $1.00 of each other in my case.

Great new tire. Although I don't understand why it's so popular. The Ventus R-S3 is also new and not much more money. Either way, they're both available from DiscountTire
