WRX tyre sizes can vary by year, trim and wheel option, so the safest route is to use your registration in the search tool. You can also check the tyre sidewall (for example, 245/40 R18) or the driver’s door placard and then search by tyre size.
It is often recommended to keep tyres closely matched in brand, pattern and tread depth on an all-wheel-drive WRX to avoid uneven rolling circumference. If only two tyres are being replaced, fit them as a pair on the same axle and follow your vehicle handbook guidance. If your tread depths are significantly different, ask your fitter for advice before ordering.
Choose a speed rating and load index that meets or exceeds the manufacturer specification for your Subaru WRX. Do not downgrade ratings to save money, as it can affect handling, safety and insurance. Using registration lookup helps ensure the correct ratings are shown for your car.
After selecting tyres that fit your Subaru WRX, you can pick a nearby fitting garage and a suitable appointment time. The tyres are delivered to that garage for your visit, and you simply turn up for fitting and balancing as booked.
If you drive regularly in colder months, winter tyres can improve grip and braking when temperatures drop, especially on wet roads and in slush or snow. All-season tyres are a strong option for year-round UK use if you want one set that handles mixed conditions. For consistent AWD performance, it is best to fit the same type across all four wheels.
