New Tires
From a quick search:
Michelin Pilot Sport - 255/35/20s (Front): UTQG - 300 AA, Y rated
$300.00 each (TireRack)
Nitto NT555 Extreme Performance - 255/35/20s (Front): UTQG - 300 AA, W rated
$158.00 each (Discount Tire)
Significant price difference for a nearly identical tire on paper. NT555s have a slightly lower speed of 168mph (W rated) vs. 186mph of the Y rated Pilot sport...but seeing as our cars are limited somewhere near 165 if I remember right it's kind of a moot point. Not to mention I never drive the car anywhere near that top speed anytime ever.

I also had the Conti DWS on my STi with a stage 1 tune and they also squealed like pigs when I leaned on them, if they couldn't handle a 340 hp STi how are you guys with XFRs not roasting them?
I have heard nothing but good things on the Michelins, I have the NT555 on my car and they squeal like pigs.
