Don't believe everything you hear from the stealership. A 20% difference in tread wear will do nothing as long as it is the same tire brand and size.

Not sure if they will fit over STi 4 pots, but I will do a little bit of research and find out and get back to you.
I'm asuming that you have the 4-pots, did you get them from Mastro?

if left and right are the same, it wont wear out the front diff, but if the backs vs fronts are different, it can put more wear on the center diff.

That, sir, makes ABSOLUTELY no sense in reference to anything posted considering the topic of interest was uneven tread wear. Furthermore, that's basically common sense.

but if the backs vs fronts are different, it can put more wear on the center diff.
Makes more sense, but be informed that Subaru has published that there can be up to 1/4" to 1/2" difference between tread depths of tires to prevent abnormal wear on differentials.

And as far as the link goes, that is what THAT PERSON has posted as THEIR selling price for THEIR item(s). NOT what I posted. If someone would like to use that as a negotiating point for a possible transaction with me, that's totally fine.

And Frankie, I could not find any information on whether or not these will fit over the FHI 4-pots. I am pretty certain they will fit over STi Brembo's though. If you would like to meet somewhere and test fit them I may be able to arrange that.

makes perfect sense, if the left i worn more then the right side or vice versa, its going to effect the diff (be it either front or back) those tires are on.

I know what you mean.

If the tire on the left front is worn more than the right front it will put stress on the front diff, and if the tire on the left rear is worn more than the right rear it will put stress on the rear diff. Now, if the front tires are the same and the rears are the same it wont put stress on either front or rear diff, but if the front tires are a different height than the rear tires it will stress the center diff. So, to keep all of your diffs happy you need to make sure that all 4 tires are the same size and the same brand (physical size differs from brand to brand)
