$119USD, much better handling than the run-flat OE Dunlops

Great tires!  Along with Hankook EVOs.  IIRC, VMango has the Stars on his WRX...

I just ordered a set of Yokohama S-Drives. I used those on the track last year and they weren't bad.
I paid $550 all in for 4x 215 50 17

The treadwear rating of 200 would scare me away.  Then again, I'm not autocrossing or heading to the track.  Also, in a 205-50-16 they're V-rated.  Not sure that matters.
