    I ended up getting a Kumho ASX Ecsta for my replacement for my blown RE92. I got it at Discount Tire in Acworth for $126.80 and that includes a certificate for a free replacement,mounting,balancing,etc. I found out that my blowout was caused by a HONDA brake pad that was on the road and it caused the tire to pierce about the size of a dime. Oh Well.... I love da Kumho's...

    Did you get it shaved to match the other tires? AWD system doesn't like different diameter tires...

    Yeah, be very careful as the different grip levels between the tires may cause your diff to become "unhappy".....

    Tire.

    They said that I would be fine. They told me that I had more than 5/32nd's of tread left and the tires only have 11,000 miles on them.
    Thanks,

    I had a real hard time finding a decent price under 200.00 for the RE92's so I got the Kumho, I am also going to get 3 more when my finances get more stable.
