I have a spirited style of driving and these tires provide excellent levels of dry grip. I used to experience a lot of understeer, which is not surprising because WRXs are known to understeer. These tires have greatly reduced my WRX's understeer. Wet grip is very good, although my driving style is more gentle when it is wet. My main criticism of these tires is that there is noticeable sidewall flex when I push my car into tight turns. This is probably made worse by the relatively high profile of my tires (235/45/17).

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.

What Subaru MY11 Impreza WRX Premium drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great tire, came with the car when I purchased it secondhand. Never had wheel spin in the dry, even flooring it from take-off. Wet grip was good but never really tested the tire extensively.
I've done 30,000kms and there is still plenty of tread left but I have sidewall damage in one of the tires so need to replace all 4 (gotta love AWD). Would definitely buy from Yokohama again, maybe upgrade to the C2 Drive or S Drive.
