my two re92's lasted about 50K, the other two wore down quicker cuz my camber was off. they should last at lest 40K or more.

They were dead @ 25K & Replaced with even cheaper Falcons! They are worse because now I have this problem (47K) that no matter how many times I balance the wheels they vibrate @ 65mph+ :x Toyota guy said that they are "squared" whatever that means. Anyways the next replacement is with an 18" wheel and tire package. w/ Michelins all the way. No more drama. :roll:

its kinda weird how the RE92's all have diff mileage life... guess its the type of driver eh?

to solarat's next tire choice, i would knudge you to get yokohama avs sport or the bridgestone pole position s-03. they are both top of the line tires.

i was reading about tires on tirerack, and those scored very high. (the bridgestones were actually rated no. 1)

About 30K for me. They werent bald when I had them taken out (maybe 10-20% left), but they were crappy enough for the snow that I wanted them changed out anyways. They were shaking like mad at anything over 60MPH too, and hydroplaned like it was a lost art. Got me some Kumhos because I'm a poor poor college boy, but its all good now. I hope they dont last too too long since I need a good excuse to get plus size up to new rims. :D

i.e. Solara's 91H v. ES 300's 91V.

Mine lasted for about 25K :x
