I ran 40psi front 32psi rear on my STi with RE070's.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

I'm going to be running Bridgestone Potenza RE070's in a 225/45/17 (stock STi tire).
Since my front tires (215/45/17) already rub the fenders, I'm going to need to get them rolled, then throw on the 225's.
