Your rims have 20% tread left?

They will last 12,509 miles, exactly, or 5,528 trips to the liquor store and back on a saturday.



But in all seriousness dude, this is a terrible, terrible question. We don't know what tires they are, we don't know what kind of driving you do, we don't know how much 20% actually is, don't know what car you drive...

Sorry I've never heard of them. Are they an all season or a summer tire or??

Generally the wear bars are a good indicator, although I've used tires well beyond the wear bars, all the way up until they started to really really suck in the rain.

Don't the WRX and STi have different bolt patterns? Why yes, yes they do. 5x100 vs 5x114.

05+ STI are the 114.3. 04 is 5x100, same as the rest of the Imprezas.

VW BBS wheels will fit your car better. suby offsets are too high.


20% doesn't mean anything to us. is it 20% of original depth? 20% of depth to wear bars?

lol I love the 20% guess. Its like when I say 80% thread left...it could mean 50% and people probably couldn't tell the difference

if they are already mounted, you might as well run them until they are completely done. Or if you want to play it safe just mount some new tires
