My problem with the RE92's is that I don't feel they do ANYTHING well.

-expensive
-don't last very long
-don't offer good dry traction
-don't offer good wet traction
-don't offer good ice/snow traction

These are just my opinions, but I'm now more inclined to leave my dedicated winter tires on the wagon than put the RE92's back in their place. They inspire more confidence in the rain, and whlie they have tread squirm up to wazoo, they're predictable and easy to drive.

I think the biggest complaint I have against the RE92 is that, above all, they're not cheap, and if you're going to spend $152 /tire, why not go with something that does at least SOMETHING good?? I'd rather have a tire that sucks in the dry but offers superior wet performance, or vice versa, or does well in the winter but sucks in the summer.

I just think most arguments against why the RE92s are so terrible is because (IMO) for the money, you can do better in every regard.
