If you still have the stock tires on your WRX, you should change them. I just got my '05 two weeks ago - if you went to the cruise, I was the one with the new grey color. But the other day my tire blew out while I was driving causing the car to go off road. I went up a little dirt mound that was on the side of the road, just missing a telephone pole and brick wall (thank God.) Now my front bumper, drivers fender, sideskirts, and both drivers side doors are damaged. And if that is not bad enough, the windows were down and now my brand new car is full of dirt. I was wondering if anyone else had problems with the stock tires blowing out. I wasn't going at a crazy speed that would cause this, just about 60mph. I am going to take my car to the dealership today to see if they had seen it happen before and to see what the can do about it. I at least hope the can fix the tire and clean the interior for me. I also read about Greg doing some bodywork. If anyone can help my hurtin' suby please let me know.

 

If you have an STi, I'll buy one of your tires off you.

 

Sorry to hear about that. And you've had the car for about 2 weeks?

Yep the stock tires have much suck!

Its good that you are ok, you should be able to claim under your insurance and get the body damage taken car of.

 

that's vicious...the poor guy just had an accident and the vultures are already swooping in!

he said WRX, not STi...and by stock tires, i assume he's referring to the re92's.

 

damnnnnnn shane that is weak!!!!!
glad to hear you weren't hurt though.

hope it will all work out and everything will get fixed. and the re92's aren't great for the rain.

 

Wow sorry to hear that dude, I knew they sucked, but didn't think they sucked THAT bad.

 

nope just a wrx. sti tires are actually pretty good.

 

re92s are horrible tires. us 00+ maxima guys know this.

 

wow that sucks, but glad you're ok. hopefully insurance will be able to cover the damage.

 

i havent heard of peeps with re92's tires just blowing like that. maybe it was a defected tire.....=lawsuit=$$$. nah

 

as for me i been fortunate, so far my stock tires are still in good shape- but like namakemono it sucks in the rain.

RE-92's?

I don't think anyone has had a problem with them. They come on a ton of cars stock.

We've had brave souls "track day" on them without any problems.

 

now u left out 1 factor in your story. How fast were u going when the tire decided to blow up on you?
