Default Looking for Tires

Hello IC,

I am looking for some replacement tires, preferably some Potenza RE92's 165/65r14. There isn't much available anymore and most sites list them on backorder.

I would prefer 4 but I need at least 2.

Thanks for your help!


P.S. Maybe for a new thread, but are tires listed as:
P165/65R14XL 84S BSW
vs.
P165/65R14 78S BSW

mean they should not be inflated to high PSI?

Ebay is the place to go, got 4 kumho's there for under $400. Not the crappy ones that came on it either, I never get stuck in snow now.

I am going to go with Michelin X-Ice 175/70r13 for winter, but i am not ready to put them on and my current tires are both at 2/32 of tread left.

I will keep hunting around!

I saw the RE92s and a Michelin Energy Saver listed at DiscountedWheelWare.com. I have never bought from them, and it was not clear they were in stock, but had those two listed in the 165/65-14. Discount Tires Michelin Tires ENERGY SAVER 165/65R14 79 T

I bought the OEM Potenzas for ~350 or so from Tirerack a few months back. Having tried a lot of things, I love these tires ... super sporty for how good the LRR is, car handles great once they're broken in and know their limits.

Agree on this, I bought mine from Tirerack. When I purchased my car it had 195/65 sport tires and its handling was INSANE, however they dragged down the acceleration quite a bit and mileage, especially at freeway speeds.

I was checking last night, Tirerack shows they have stock. They indicate when they have low or no stock so should be good to go!
