    Greetings All, It seems RE 92 and other tires that would fit the rims of a Gen 1 Insight are becoming harder to find? If so, would Gen 2 wheels (rim & tire( fit a Gen 1 without too much mpg loss?

  10. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I had 4 new Potenzas put on, which resulted in a new vibration in steering . The tire shop re-balanced & it's better but still, vibration isn't completely gone and - as I suspected - the shop pointed out 3 bent rims. I'd like to start out the new tires without extra wobble-wear. How would I...

    Hey forum, I bought my 2010 Insight 2 weeks ago. On my first tank (which the dealer paid for) I achieved 47 true mpg. I've already begun modifying. My dumblops were shot with 25k. Thanks to all the great information here, I decided to go with 15x6.5 Maxxim Sixx Black wheels and Goodyear Fuel...

  15. MPG Issues
    Everyone interested in their mpg should read C&D's article on pg 32 of the latest issue. Well stated and we can attest to its validity. Wider, heavier, larger diameter tires cut mpg and acceleration.

    Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum and my first post. I have a gray second generation LX and I love it, but I'm looking to upgrade the wheels. The steelies aren't really the type of look I'm digging right now. I want to keep the OEM tires (175/65/15) and I understand that the standard wheel...

    Hi everybody! I Live in Michigan and just started driving my 2002 MT gen 1. I previously drove a '94 Mercury Villager, and it had few problems in the snow, so I am wondering if I could get some advice for my Insight: -How important would snow/winter tires be? -Should I remove the skirts to...
