Tirerack.com once again comes through strong (3rd time ordering from them). Ordered last night and here this afternoon, can't beat that service. The RE92's which come on the legacy are f'n horrible. Such a mismatched tire for such a fun and powerful car:confused:. After having them break loose twice (once in light rain and once accelerating hard around a curve) I'd had enough. Not to mention my back right tire has some weird warpage on the inside? I know that these are great all season tires as I run them on my forester in 225/50/17. Can't wait till the break-in period is over and I can drive this car like it's meant to be! http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/1020/dsc06946by1.jpg Those rota's will eventually be on the legacy but honestly I really like the look of the stock wheels for now. Very sleeper and I like the silver/ABP combo. Next mod: Window Tint (I'm thinking 35% all around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonLGT Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Great start, tires are one of the most overlooked things when modifying a car IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgwai Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 nice. yea my rear tires seem to be "used" warpped more on the inside than the outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yea, can't wait to get them put on. Whenever I upgrade brakes, power and suspension, it won't do me any good if I'm on crappy tires. My back right RE92 doesn't seem to hold air well and when I looked at it, there are freakin bumps on the inside of it, like whoever mounted it didn't know what the hell they were doing. For some reason the RE92's were like 60 bucks more on tirerack than these tires:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i replaced the 92's with 960's the day after i bought my car . my only complaint about the 960's, is that there's no warning (noise, chirping etc) from the tires before the lose grip. it's a small complaint and most drivers wont take the tires to the edge of thier ability. also, they tend to get a dead spot if the car sits for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Can't wait till the break-in period is over and I can drive this car like it's meant to be! you'll need something besides all seasons for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well got them on last thursday. Turns out that the tire I was having problems with (rear right) was actually STRIPPING itself off the wheel (WTF!?)! According to the mechanic this was not a fault of whomever mounted/balanced the RE92's, but rather a defect in the tire itself. With the tire stripping, could I have potentially been driving and it just fall off the wheel?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
