I gave my set of stock Primacy tires to Wheels Direct to be disposed of lol! They are just as bad as those MXV4 tires that came with Hondas back in the 90s. When I ran them during break-in, speeding into the 401 ramp would cause a slight 4 wheel drift sensation. Wet traction was just non-existent.

I bought a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 in 215/45/R17 87V to replace them. I have a set of Enkei STI wheels in 17" X 7.5 dark grey coming (basically trying to get my BRZ to look like a poor man's Supra 2.5 Twin Turbo R lol) and would be swapping these AS3 tires onto them for non-winter use. I can't wait to try them in warm weather. Wet traction is awesome and they are much more comfortable and sure footed. The stock tires felt like driving Fred Flinstone's car.

The stock rims are so ugly I'm going to use them in winter.

This is STI's recommendation for their 18" X 7.5 setup:

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40ZR18(92Y) XL @ 35psi / 240kPa front and rear.
