I'm a big fan of the ST-115's. They're *very* quiet, and have great wet traction. But they don't last quite as long as I wish they would considering that they're not an all out handling tire. But that said, they remain my road-only summer tire of choice.

And since the ST-115's run a little narrow, you can easily go with the 235/40/17's. They fit like 225 RT-215's, and you'll get a bit of acceleration due to the gearing advantage, though your speedo will read a bit high. You might even be able to go wider than 235... I've got 255/40/17 ST-115's on my SVX, but it's got more room than an Impreza and 8" wide wheels... I think a 7.5" width rims is too narrow for 255's... maybe see if some 245's would fit?
