#3) Spirited commute
#4) 75% highway/back roads/ 25% city
#5) RE92s
#6) Very sticky. I found out early you could fishtail with the RE92s when WOT from a turn, say turning from a stop sign. You can't with these tires. I've tried several times and they just grip and go. I was a little worried, with the odd flame like tread, that they would slide in the rain, but they perform just as well on wet roads, and hydroplaning is minimal. No snow down here but I wouldn't try it.
Only complaint is after roughly 12,000 miles, they are starting to get loud. The last few weeks I thought I had another bearing problem, but from reading reviews elsewhere, they get louder as they age. If I end up replacing these because of the road noise instead of the tread, I'll go with something else. So far the tread is holding up extremely well.
