On Insight Central they start a tire thread about every 4 months but the consensus always lands on RE92 unless they get talking about snow.
Not sure how much faith I put in all that hoopla about the RE92s. They're okay tires, and I do have them on my current Insight, but . . .

I drove my kid's car (my old Insight Turtle) for a week a couple of months ago and at the time it still had Michelin Energy Savers on it (he has since put on the new RE92s I bought a while back)

I pulled the same mpg (mid 70's) in his car as I typically do in Ron Burgundy, driving the same exact route to work in the same weather, etc . . . leaving me to wonder just how much difference there really is between brands of LRR tires
