Tyres For A Wrx

[Ruxis]

Hey guys,

My friend has a WRX (07 model), he has seen my 595 federals (directional tyres) and is pretty jealous of my price ($500 for 4 as a NSW member) and the grip that has come with them.

Just wondering what would be the best tyre for him to buy for low price, lots of grip, and long life.

His price range is no more then $1000.

OR

Would he be better off joining SAU NSW and getting the same as me?

low price, lots of grip, and long life.

Pretty much mutually exclusive requirements.

Certainly, "lots of grip" and "long life" are.

I'm currently running Falken 912s. Have previously run B/S Potenza GIIIs. All under $200 each. Generally get in excess of 20k out of them. But then I don't do burnouts, or drift around corners.

yeah ive heard that,

would you rate them better value for money over the federals? (if youve used them)

thanks alot for your input.

Without knowing what tyre size old mate with the WRX is running it will be hard to give any advice on tyres in a certain budget.
