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.

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE005 235-45-17 Subaru 2011 Impreza WRX STI 29,000 miles October 9, 2026

Driven on gravel, tarseal, ice and only had them slip once but had overcooked the corner so can;t really blame it on the tires.
They do get a bit noisy as they wear down though.
Aquaplaning tends to be worse as they wear too.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 245-40-18- Subaru 2011 Impreza WRX STI 16,800 miles March 2, 2024
When driven in warm temps, you get good grip on a spirited drive, but when it comes to the wet, the tires don't give you enough confidence as they lose their grip. Wear is OK and expect from a touring tire, but if you like a spirited drive and live in the UK with a mix of climates, I would look else where before considering these.

These tires perform great during spring-summer-fall weather. I daily drive on these tires through all New York terrain. Not great in snow. Quiet on all speeds. They withstood all potholes and bumps. No sidewall bubbles, cupping, or unusual wear and tear. They amaze me during my backroad carvings. Gripped phenomenally. I still have 6/32 of depth.

Very good tires. Grips well. A lot more quiet and sharper cornering feedback than my old bridestone potenza.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R 245-40-18- Subaru 2011 Impreza WRX STI 6,000 miles December 2, 2011
Just bought these tires and installed them on a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we have about a 60/40 mix of snowy conditions and dry sunny winter weather because of our geographic location (we get Chinooks!). The last snow storm brought 10cm of snow and I was loving it! Grip is phenomenal! Handling is alright but this is a dedicated winter tire not performance based. Comfort is really good and noise level is good as well. Cannot speak of trend life thus far but will update perhaps next year. Was going to buy Alpine PA3's but decided on dedicated winters and it was the right choice for me. I can still drive my STI fast in straights with insane grip on ice and snow but do have to take it easier on fast cornering. However, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make for ultimate winter confidence.
