Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08R 225-45-17- Subaru 2008 subaru impreza sti 8,000 miles August 13, 2019
Can't say anything more than best reviews here. I used to buy these tires for long now, since they were "Ad08" not "R", on my subarus : they are the best out of many previous tires tests for me on my "toy/track" STI, and as a bonus I reached 5000kms for the first time with one set - Since this time, I never change again !
I think the one word to describe these tires is : confidence.
I use them on my daily STI too, I just switch to V105 for winter conditions. Sometimes I test other tires on this car when i want different grip, cause il like having fun at lower speed on this car.
Just to know I have >700Nm, crush some gearboxes on my trackcar, and this tire never peeled off like many others on hard track use, even when touching bumpers. I also can do long sessions on my favorite track (>30min), it doesnt overheat too fast.

Achilles ATR Sport 240-45-18- Subaru 2008 subaru impreza sti 3 miles September 28, 2016
Wet weather? No. I have a 2008 Sti making about 250whp. In the rain it drives like it's rwd. It loses traction like no tomorrow. Now dry weather handling is quite surprising considering they at as cheap as they are. Probably would by again if I was in a money crunch and couldn't afford good high performance tires.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17- Subaru 2008 subaru impreza sti 400 miles December 16, 2012
Dec is raining season in my country. A bad track day for practice. Came using of 4 month old eagle F1 asymmetric 2 (left 90%) vs very old eagle f1 gsd3 ( left 40% ).

Being changing in and out and hope asymmetric 2 can beat the timing then gsd3 as during final race will be asymmetric 2. But sorry, the gsd3 still grid better and better timing then his new brother asymmetric2 yet left 30% after long hrs of test and practice.
The asymmetric side wall wear out more Quickly then gsd3.

Let don't compare other brand, I feel new asy3 just road noise better only and marketing strategy to make tire wear off quickly .

Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST 225-45-17- Subaru 2008 subaru impreza sti 18,000 miles June 21, 2012
They lasted much longer than expected with agressive driving. Good dry grip, agile tires but too noisy. Having other options that are better at the same price, i would rather not buy these again.
