I want to post to let everyone know that over the last 5 months I have had zero issues with these tires. My last 3 tanks (see fuel log) each averaged over 80 MPG. If these tires have a MPG penalty as compared with the RE92, it is negligible.
Do you find them loud? I watched a review and that was one observation. Also that cornering was not the best of the tested all season tires. In general, it seemed like they were describing a LRR compound tire--as if one had snuck into their performance tests.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
