Have any of you Insighter's looked at replacing your RE92s? In my quick searching, I'm finding tire rack is the best place around.
Congrats on your best tank Tim!

I'm going to have to side with California98Civic on this one. My Re92's were low tread (~15%) and had cracks throughout the tread and sidewall when I bought my Insight. I inflated them to 65 psi and all was dandy for a month and a half till this past week. I have had 3 of the 4 Re92's on my car start to disintegrate. I drive... as a dedicated hypermiler as well. I'll post pics on my thread to show what I'm dealing with... but yes, if there is a hint at any issues with the tires, replace them immediately!

I just ordered a set yesterday from Tire Rack. $378.00 shipped to Missouri with free Road Hazard from TR.
