V-Power Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Just a quick hit here before this gets dropped in the Wheels/Tires thread. How many miles did you get out of your stock RE92s before replacing? I've put on 8k miles in 4mos ... looks like I'll be lucky to get to 16kmi before getting Pirelli Zero Neros. Thanks!

Euclid Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I've got just over 16k on them, and they seem to have another 8-10k in them... Which for me is like an eternity in tire life. My last car I was lucky to get 8k out of a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I use mine for winter duty- October to March or April. I don't think they'll ever wear out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I've had mine for almost a year and a half and got over 36k on them. To be honest they are fine. They were rotated every 8-10k. My driving has been usually 80% highway though. I could run them for quite a bit more. They have however gotten scarier in the snow since that initial layer is worn off. Last year, when they were new they were fine, but this year it is noticably worse. I will be getting snows this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 as my duty of a mod of post number 5,555, this thread is getting moved to the tires/wheels forums. Depends on how you drive, you can get anywhere from 10k to 35k miles. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Depends on how you drive, you can get anywhere from 10k to 35k miles. +1 although you can get WAY more than 35k if you aren't wearing them fast. I have at least 1/2 of my tread left if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhecubus42 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I got about 30k before I decided to replace them with my NEW rims. RE92 + Median = Median Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhecubus42 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Sorry to be so vague. I'm lamenting the loss of my tires (after a collision with a median), even though they suck. But to answer the quesition of the thread, I had about 30k on them and probably enough tread to last another 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 ~30K even with a ton of "spirited" driving and U-turns. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFreeze2 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I was never really "impressed" with the RE-92s. IMO, they should be assassinated just prior to driving the car off the lot on the day of purchase.:icon_evilALL OF THEM. Thank you for your time. YA RLY!!! Home of +2500 useless posts!!!!

BoxerGT2.5 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Howsdat? Totalled the car? I yanked them off the car when I sold my SSR's from my Rx-8 to buy my Volks. I then yanked them off the stock rims to put on Nokian WR's for the winter. The place I got my WR's gave me $25 credit per tire for the RE92's. I was affraid I'd have to pay them to keep em.

jj808 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Mine made it all the way to Goodyear Tires and then they vacated for a nice set of GSD3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusSeven Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 This may sound like sacrilege or maybe I'm *$#%in crazy, but my RE-92's seem to be getting better, at least on dry roads. When they were pretty new (About 1K miles) I tried pushing the LGT on a particular expressway entrance cloverleaf (my state-supplied test skidpad). The car got positively "squirrelly" at 41-42 mph with the front-end "pushing" and then beginning to break away. Now, with 8K on the tires, the car can do 45-46 mph on the same cloverleaf, and feels a little more solid. The tires have only worn about 10-15%, so I'm surprised they feel that much better. I'm still running the same pressures (37F/35R), although the weather is a little cooler now. At current wear rates, these tires will last 35-40K miles, but Will probably be replaced with Goodyear F1-GS D3's first. Just put a set of Blizzak LM-25's on ASA-JH3 17X7.5 wheels on for the winter. The wheels look pretty nice (better than stock), but they are heavy. It hasn't snowed yet, but I want to be ready.

geddyup Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I do the same as Jedi. Great winter rims and tires. I put the Blizzaks on the wife's 4 runner because that is the family rig. If you know how to drive the tires really make for a decent winter tire/rim set up I do miss the look of my ssr 18" but it will be like getting a new set of rims in the springPatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hit 8k and the grip has improved, too. But I did purchase the car during the dead heat of summer (Texas) and I was sliding everywhere when pushing the car. The RE92s do like cooler pavement!
