Steer clear of fuzion zri's I dont know if its just because they are new....but they dont hook for a crap. Plus you can litterly feel them fold over on quick cornering and they flat out look like monster truck tires. Better off spending extra coin on real tires. I will keep beating on them to see if they get better with age.

I don't quite agree that they look like monster truck tires, but I have noticed that they seem narrower than the Avenger's that were on previously (came with the car), even though they are the same size (275/40R17). How is that possible?

They hook just fine on my car. I've cut many a 2.0 60' on them. You just have to find the right pressure and warm them up just a lil bit. This is on 245's, btw. I've cut better 60's on these than I did on my Nittos. I've gotten in the 12's on these tires.
As far as the handling goes, mine handles well too. I've taken some really hard turns since I got them, and haven't had any problem with them rolling over. Again, this depends on the pressure in the tire. I run mine at 32 front/back on the street 40/24 at the strip.
These hook well enough for me that I don't bother putting on the ET Streets anymore, 'cause I only pull 1.9 60's on them.
It may just be that I have a stock converter and a good suspension setup, but the Fuzions work just fine for me.

i have them on the front of my car and even though i dont like they way they look for the performance aspect they have done great for me, they ride well and corner just fine. as far as hooking up i dunno i have goodyear eagles on the back . a friend of mine has them all the way @ on his car and says his hook great and handle well. i have no complaints.

i dotn agree at all, these tires are an excellent buy for the money. ive had numerous tires and these hook amazing compared to others, i run 40/30 psi.
they handle amazing, ride amazing, and have an amazing price, i would def buy again.
i used to sell tires for a shop and i would always recommend these to people and everyone has come back and thank me for the great deal/tire.

I think the fuzions are a great tire. I have had my set since they came out, actually I was told that I was the first person to buy a set of them in my area. I had pretty decent 60 ft times on them too, for a stock 6-speed, I pulled low 1.9's launching at about 2000 rpms. So, I have nothing but good things to say about the fuzions and the cheap prices make me like them even more. Also for reference I have had BFG, Goodyears, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Firestone, Kuhmos, M/T, Coopers, etc. and I will keep buying Fuzions for my street tires.
PS -- I run my tires @ 30 psi (which is what the door on all fbodys say to run)

what size do you have, i have 275/40r17, shop set mine at 40psi, i dropped them all down to 32, on 3.23 gears and no stall, i was cutting 2.0 60' times all day
as for handleing, mine seem fine, then again theres not many places around here for high speed cornering, would i buy them again, i dont know if i needed new tires and was hard pressed for cash sure, i want to try some G-force kdw next
