RE-92's aren't really that bad for casual driving. My parent's Camry came with them. In fact they're balding pretty badly, but provides decent grip still.

The funny thing was it was only 40 mph...I think that 40 is fine for a rainy day without having to worry about hydroplaning

well apparently you thought wrong, if you hydroplaned once, logic dictates, slow the hell down

Its not like the re92 is a praised tire and no one was forcing you to use them.
Its like saying this weather is getting my clothes wet.

if u want some good rain tires, get the goodyear eagle f1 gsd3. I've had/have them in 16's and 17's and haven't once hydroplaned or slipped in standing water (doing an average speed of 80 on the freeway). They are very stable in the rain.

personally, I would never think of any stock tire as the BEST tire. If you wanted the #1 tires from the dealership, you'd have to be prepared for about another $500-$1000 on the car

I personally never had problems with the re-92's and I still use them for off roading.

yep used my stockers with RE92s in the past when i went to tahoe. not the greatest tire to use but got the job done, even though i was sliding a little. very low speeds tho.
