RE92
Bridgestone Potenza RE92 that is. The WRX (supposedly a sports car) comes with the same tires as a stock Impreza. These tires are a joke. In my experience both driving and riding in a WRX, the tires are by far the weakest link. You can feel the excellent body rigidity and potential for excellent handling, but all of this is squadered because the stock tires give up so quickly. Why couldn't they put performance tires on this car?
Yeah, it looks cheap...but what else do you expect? Yes, the styling is the worst mistake Subaru's made since the Brat. All in all, it's a great car if you race (track) and can definately be made to drive 200% better than it does stock by adding tires and poly bushings. With some performance mods, you could easily be among the fastest out there. But this is not a car I'd choose for driving around town (unless it's snowing really bad) or taking a road trip. I'll keep the 9000 Aero.
