yup but i think its kind of funny that 99% of the threads here are started by people who own gt's. wether its interior audio, detailing, maintenance etc...

great thread, will probably never get around to doing the exhaust but it looks like to get any major difference you have to switch to UEL.

 

THANKS for making more info available for the 2.5i. we should have more a prescnece considering we make up most of the market, even though we aren't as performance oriented.

#1) Michelin HyrdoEdge, All Season 205/55/16 (yes i know... 2.5i )

 

#2) Hell. Fargo, ND.

 

#3) Just normal driving, some auto-x, and some performance comparison against my friends e30.

 

#4) city 60% highway 25% gravel 15%:

 

#5) On this car: The RE92's (didn't think they were that bad till it snowed then i didn't really like them to much till spring) On other cars: Arizona silver editions (on a maxima, great tire, quiet and somewhat grippy), goodyear eagles(durango.... its an suv and yeah.... that explains it), toyo proxes 4's (some sets seem to wear out faster than others, but nonetheless you get what you pay for), random yokohama truck tires.

 

#6) we will use the rating scale!

Grip vs re92's - Very similar but did have to go down a speed rating to get these tires (i rarely drive higher than 75 for more than 5-10 minutes at a time) so i'm guessing thats what hurt the sidewalls a little bit, id say they have the same grip if not slightly more once the car gets settled.

Rain - don't notice it, these tires are absolutely superb in the rain and id say grip improves if i wasn't stupid.

Road noise - Compared to....... sitting still loud. Quiet enough that you can't hear them with the window down at 40 or with the window down or radio on 6-8 on the interstate.

Life: can't really give an accurate description of this, they still look new to me after ~10k miles which is supposidly 1/9th their life span.
