I tried running Michelin Pilot A/S for a couple of seasons. Not very happy with them in Chicago winter.. I would say they were only marginally better than the summer tires that came on the car. This winter going with Pilot Alpin P4. Not a square setup because I was able to find 265s for the...

replying to my own post, my local tire shop that i have been using for years could not get the aplin in 265/35/18... costco had it, and they had no issues mounting a non-stock size tire to the stock wheel. tires are on order and should be in mid-november. i know this car won't drive like my STI...

Hey fellas, I tried to read this whole thread but wound up skimming it, without finding my answer... Has anyone run a square setup on a 4BW on stock wheels with winter tires? I'm looking at Michelin Alpin PA4 in 255/35-18 for all 4 wheels. I'm looking for a couple people with first hand...

6/32 tread on fronts, 4/32 tread on rears. Tires have 5-6K miles on them, used in the winter season. No flats or repairs. I bought them to use in the winter, and while they are much better than the 4S that come on the car, i want to get something more aggressive. In the summer they are hard to...

Thanks everyone who responded. @dribs15 I searched, must not have scrolled down far enough because I didn't see the thread you linked. Some good info in there after I flittered out all the 5BW posts ;) Car is at the shop now having the summers mounted. The all seasons will be for sale today...

i have michelin performance all seasons on now... I forget the exact model, but they are unimpressive regardless of road conditions., and not much better in snow and cold than the stock tires. I wanted to get michelin alpin. I had them on my last car (STI). They were very impressive in snow. I...

oh nice, more options in 245/40-18.. same diameter and an inch narrower. Should work... Thanks.

Hi Fellas, I took delivery of my 4BW in late November of 2021, and drove it from the dealer straight to the tire shop. I was not able to find winter tires in both of the sizes needed, so I decided to go with an all season instead, figuring it would be better than nothing. Turns out the tires are...

Planning to do that when the opportunity comes up...

How many miles did you get from the first set? Tracked or all street?

I guess it's going to be hard to find a 4bw with more miles than that ;) I picked mine up in November 2021, so pretty close to the beginning. Anyway, my brakes have been quiet until a week ago.

Hey guys, I searched the forums but couldn't find a similar thread... How many miles are you all getting from your stock brake pads with normal driving - no track use? I have 13K miles on my car and the brakes are squealing. I haven't had a chance to take the wheels off yet, but if these pads...
