New Tires installed. Bridgestone Fuzion ZRi

[OneManArmy]

245/50/16's and so far I love em! everyone talks about the kumhos or yokos and I wanted something different. Something that would last longer to begin with.


rated at 320/A/A (speed rating W for gods sake!)and being bridgestones (I love bridgestone tires, have owned several pairs on other cars) these are perfect.

already they grip and corner a million times better than my stock tires (of course we already know that those goodyears are horrible [img]smile.gif[/img] )

I'll break them in some more and post a better review later.

how much ya pay?

[OneManArmy]

mounted, balanced and installed $420.

upon further driving (and quite "vigorously" at that) I stand firm that these tires have outstanding traction, however the sidewalls feel a little soft. nothing bad but its there.

Thats a pretty price. I was at the mall and came out and one tire was half way dead (huge nail) and my tires were bald anyways.

The only place open was Sear's and I got raped on some Falcens. They were $323 for 2 tires!


And now trying to find two matching tires is impossible since they are backordered, they are a real close pattern to Fusion tires though so I might go with those.

are Mastercraft Avenger G/T tires any good? I heard they are good all weather tires but what speed are they rated at? the code is 9GT P235/55RIG M+S

just as a quick update. finally got a chance to drive in some serious heavy rain. stuck to the pavement like glue. standing water feared these tires. [img]smile.gif[/img]


couple notes these tires pick up every bit of sand and gravel on the road, they are sticky. and I'm noticing wear on the edges.. of course I think thats more my car than it is the tires.

Before this topic becomes totally dead and off of the first page, i'd just like to say I got a set of these Fuzion ZRi tires.

I got 275/40/17's and so far, so good. I haven't had them for too long, but I already like them. They grip in dry and rain pretty well, and better than my old Potenza's (RE910's i think, not sure if thats exactly right)... but of course i cant really compare the fuzions to my potenzas because the potenzas were smaller tires (245/50/16).

I just thought id put in my input on these tires so that anyone considering these tires would have a second opinion. They are fairly cheap tires and seem pretty good so far. Good bang for the buck tires!

Bringing back the dead topic....

No, they are pretty hard tires. They will last a while, but they don't grip well at all.

I've had em a long time. They don't grip, they suck in rain, and they last FOREVER. I'm sure they are rated at like 115 the poor bastards.

I agree with you on everything you have said. I have had 2 fuzions in the rear (for 4 months) and love the tracktion I get in wet and dry weather; they litterally stick to the road. I have potenza's in the front I am just waiting for them to wear out so I can get 2 more fuzions. Great tire period.

I used to run potenza's on all 4, then I had a nail puncture the side wall and I replace the 2 most worn with fuzions.
