Not at all! I drive around like a lunatic in ALL my vehicles, not just the AWD models.
But I truly have never heard anything good about RE92's, in all my years of Subaru ownership and enthusiasm. So I went searching.
According to TireRack, the OEM tire on 2010 Insights is the Dunlop SP31, which is indeed LRR and very nice tire. They were original equipment on the Fit; I took them down below the wear bars before replacing them. Never surprised me once, in many K's of 'lunatic' driving. So-so in wet conditions but nowhere near scary. Not good at all in the snow, but most all seasons aren't, so eh. 51psi sidewall max, relatively high load rating. A nice, sturdy tire.
