Maybe Korean brand made in Vietnam one. As for Thai made, many are from there now. GY, Michelin. BS all have factory in Thailand.....

I'm using N8000 for 4 month now, so far no complain, rainy days, SIC, tested breaking on rainy days, all well balance for a price i pay. the only thing is the side wall is a bit on the soft side.

PS. the sidewall are soft to go SIC but comfort for daily driving.

Some keep different tyres for daily use and for SIC. If use extreme tyres for SIC for daily use will be bumpy and wet handling not good, so have to compromise....

Not whether good for your WRX, but whether suits your priorities or not?

using n8000 for about a year now on my wira turbo......x too noisy (x bother me or x notice hehehe)...grip wise is good IMHO..both wet n dry...n its relatively cheaper then most branded ones...

conclusion: good value 4 money if ur not particular about brands 2 n extend....

If you are on 17" and above can try out GT Radial Champiro HPY. The sidewall are hard and may be good for track play. Grip pretty good also, so far tried on dry, have not tried in wet yet.....daily use of course as I am not track kaki......

So can say n8000 almost on par with V12 Evo? currently running in front n6000 and rear v12. the n6k already 10k km+ and the v12 already near 17k km (punctured the front v12 ) .
Still prefer v12 but only way too expensive now and not worth it in jb.
how much is the 225/45/18 n8000?

Not sure if they have in 225/45R18, but 215/45R18 around RM500. N8000 should be at par with V12. N6000 is lower. Why not try looking for GT Radial Champiro HPY.....

I mentioned not sure, so you have to check first.
I am currently on the Champiro HPY, and find them pretty good in performance, only a bit bumpy.
V12 should be around RM600, right?
