RE-92's are amazing! (Bridgestone Potenza RE-92 LRR tires on Honda Insight)
 
I just wanted to share how glad I am that I could put my summer tires (Potenza RE-92) back on, and what a huge difference they make.

I installed them last night. I've been overshooting all the stop signs, accelerating in lean burn, coasting huge distances, and grinning a lot more. :D

Matt, which winter tires were you using?

euromodder 03-16-2011 10:40 AM

The RE92 I see on tyre sites, is labeled as a high performance tyre.
Does that mean there are different RE92s - one the sportstyre, the other an OEM LRR tyre for Honda ?

Still shopping... :)

Euromodder: from my reading, the 165/65r14 RE92 on the Insight is a different tire (in terms of rolling resistance) than the RE92 sizes made for other cars.

Yes, the OE Insight tire is a discontinuity in the RE92 lineup. Sorry to say, it's no longer available in Europe.

My winter tires are still the "meh" Blizzak MZ-02's that came with the car. And yes, I wish they were Nokian LRR winter tires, but my Blizzaks wear really slowly, especially when I only used them 3 months this year.

When I replaced the RE92s (with new RE 92s) on my Insight the mileage did not change.

If you can get them, the Michelin Alpin A4 "Green X" I've used this winter have been returning nearly the same mpg as the Energy Savers - despite all the issues with the DPF (which consumes extra diesel).

They also handle decently, which could not be said about its predecessor, the A3.

I need to get a set of 14 inch LRR tires. anyone got any pointers?

Bridgestone has a new tire series out they make their highest claims about (no data though): Product Details: Ecopia EP422

A tire place told me about Kumho Ecowing tires too. Check those out. Good luck... Report your experience?

Michelin x ice winter tire is great. Excellent traction and I got over 50 mpg all summer with them.
