They are bridgestone RE070 been told they are hard to get hold of now  they mainly have to be shipped in from japan but are standard fitment on the nissan GTR and the impreza sti 2004-2007 i think only come in 2 sizes,
225/45/17 and the gtr size, its a shame as ive never used a road tyre with as much grip

| Thank you :), i can understand maby what you mean about the boring part, you dont get any excitment like i used to in my 180 maby its due to the sheer grip in the scoob, lucky for me someone down the road to me owns a farm and he allows me to drive down the tarmac lanes 3 miles of windy private road, and some corners in my 180 i would take at 45 and be terrified but i can take most corners at 70+ and have no fear |
the older classic scoobs give the fun of a 180 but most are knackerd nowdays or chaved to death as said when you got it the 4x4 does take some getting used too but when you do boy is it fun  the newer ones like yours are nice but for me maybe just a bit to refined. |
ive not had the chance to drive a classic yet i agree newer 1s are very safe but mine has the diff controller so i can set the drive, between the front and rear axle which makes for a fun drive  i think if i drove that windy road in rwd mode id enjoy it alot more i just trust myself as yet, i know if i spin its only tarmac but would rather not on these tyres until i get a spre set of wheels!

I remember looking at an Impreza STi at Stanstead airport a fair few years ago - one of those competitions to win the car. I recall it having some nic elooking tyres. Shame they don't do them in 16".

try not to spin the wheels or go for traffic light gp starts or you will be needing a new clutch or g/box mate. art of a scoob is getting just rolling in 1st then straight into 2nd and floor the bugger dam they pick up and go well then lol lol but the clutchs are a bit weak as standerd so just get it rolling before giveing it some.
