psucaptainkickass Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ^^^ ??? Half off 12.50? $25 for all four tires? I might get them then..that isn't expensive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yes, half. The customer service rep will try to hard sell the replacement certificates. I waffled on it and finally said no. He then said what if I give you 4 for the price of 2. Bingo. In all the years that I have had tires, I have never used aftermarket replacement warranties so I don't think they're worth it. There was one time when my wife hit a curb with our brand new (less than 100 miles) BFGoodrich tires on the '98 outback. The sidewall was punctured. Costco replaced it for free. There was no aftermarket warranty involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalsleeper Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Well oddly enough I just put these on my car about 4 days ago along with a new alingment. So the car feels all squirely now, first impressions.... VERY SOFT SIDEWALL! now it feels like I am trying to to corner a bathtub. Very are more forgiving and have a great initial turn in but as soon as the weight transfers the sidewall squishes and make the feeling of body roll more prevalent. I had my alingment done at DCH in temecula and the air press. was set to about 34-35psi. Which is a bit soft for my option so I just went to 38 front and 40 rear and made a coilover adjustment so I will repost later impressions. But they are comfy and quite but i have yet to give them a work out. PSUCcaptinkickass you going to make it to the meet check the socal threads.

psucaptainkickass Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Funny...everyone is putting these on! It is very true that the sidewalls are soft, but for the price...I really don't care. They perform better than stock. I too need to check the tire pressure, as I feel that they are a little lower than my liking. I checked out the thread. I am totally down for a meet on Nov. 4th and I signed up. Should be a fun time if people can make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I too need to check the tire pressure, as I feel that they are a little lower than my liking. . yeah tire pressure can make a big difference. my stock RE92's were down to 29.5 PSI in the front Car was feeling crappy. Got them up to 38 PSI now and much better....for stock anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks for the review dude. I think their price is right because they don't waste alot of money on advertising. The product speaks for itself. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Me? Not yet, but I'll try autox'g them tomorrow to get the mould release chemicals off the tread. WEEEEEE! Hoping for a really slippery first run in the cold morning air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 has anyone tried these in rain or snow? it hasn't rained in seattle for long time... It has now! :lol: So, what's the verdict. I'm afraid to go skiing with my 37K old RE92's! There's been an add for the Nokian WR's quite a bit here on Seattle TV the last few days. Those look like they could be a good option as well. Maybe a bit too snow biased for how little we see around here though. Might make a good dedicated snow tire though if I decide to go 18's with summer rubber next spring.

slowlane Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 how 'bout some pics of the 235s on an 8.5 rim?? as rodan had said before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 You can see pics of 235s on a 17x8 rim. Search under general chat and "kindness of strangers." My LGT wagon has Rota Boosts with Kuhmos this size and pics of wheel/brakes/tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 $35 a tire credit for my three good RE92s! Isn't this statement a double negative, or an oxymoron? Good RE92's? The only good 92's are strung up along the docks for my boat! They gave you that because the run almost 170.00 each, so a half worn one is worth 50 bucks all day. Good for you, nice buy.

tigerclaws Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Here you go. Thanks a lot. I just ordered my tires from America's tire company (they are on back order). Total cost is around $450 (including road hazard, mounting, disposal fees). With $40 off, I think i got a decent deal. Cheers.........J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
