Everyones thoughts on Fuzion ZRi tires?

I just ordered a set, wondered if any of you have tried them and what you think about them? They HAVE to be better than stock potenzas.

I was looking into those before I bought my rims and tires and found nothing but good reviews on them. You have to consider the price though. For the money, those are excellent tires but there are better tires that of course cost more.

I paid $71/each for the fuzions. The potenzas I'm referring to are the RE92's that came on the car.. which suck, but aren't as bad as the RSA's that some of you unlucky people got stuck with.

Is that $71/ea mounted, balanced, roadhazard warranted, etc, or is it JUST for the tires?

Great tire to have, better than the Kumho's. Tend to be a very practical performance tire that you can use everyday.

i know the manager from firestone and he tells me that the ZRis and the stock RA's potenzas, the potenzas are a much much better tire, the zris will last maybe 10,000 miles before you buy new ones again and the potenzas youll get around 30-40,000. he said the fuzions are jsut for looks. i had them on my previous car and ya they were ok, but they do wear down like melted butter fast.

They will wear quick because they are a Z rated tire, and as well are not very expensive. You get what you pay for I guess. I have them and I like them, But yet again Im only running them from late May to mid Oct.

I have put a little over 10K on mine and the tread still looks brand new. They handle fine on dry and wet.

I got them mounted today, they are like night and day from the potenzas. I can't even chirp second gear anymore. Cornering is 1000% better, the road feels smoother, and they even look better on the car. They grip hard and are cheap. What could be better? The factory tires will last longer because they are all season tires and the treadwear is higher. The treadwear on the ZRi's is 320.. which is very soft. They are performance tires, not 80,000 mile econos.
