Wow, that's a crazy difference!

I'm running the LRR tires that came on the car:
Michelin Green X 175/70R13

What do you think about those? Would I benefit from moving to the Potenza RE92's?
From my understanding, Re92's are king, literally no tire on the market is better. But you're on 13" rims so tbh, you would have to up to either run Honda civic HX rims, which are what I'm rolling on, or insight rims, but I'm unsure if 175/70 on 13" are smaller width than 165/65 on 14". Further research is needed.

Also, I forgot to mention, the Re92's were 5LB less PER TIRE vs what I had. So I cut 20lb total of rotational mass. You would have to weigh your current setup, and then see how much HX or insights rims with RE92'S weigh (about 23lb give or take a pound). If you're going to be adding even 3lb per tire, would it really be worth it? I don't think so. Who knows. Too bad you don't live close to me, that would be a fun afternoon project.
