Wow...**** RE-92s

When you are driving home from work/school/whatever the last thing on your mind is your tires. Unfortunately when you are driving home and go over a puddle and your tires ****ing HYDROPLANE there is a problem...

Maybe this is a sign to upgrade my tires, I don't know...But what I do know is that RE-92's can suck my nuts because these piece of **** demon abominations should never be on my WRX in the first place, let alone see the light of day.

Wait, which one was it? Granted there are better rain tires out there than RE92s, they still do come stock on a lot of other cars other than subys. You don't see every car with RE92s spin out and end up on the side of the road when it rains. Perhaps it's wiser to take it a littler easier when it's wet out.

RE-070's in a downpour are worse than your RE-52's in this drizzle ;-)
