Default Firestone Wide Oval or Fuzion Tires

Need some tires soon tirerack has the wide oval as a better tire than fuzion. As far as dry traction.What do you guys think? I am looking for something as a good dd and some track time. I need to get my 60ft down. But want to stay on street tires thanks.

The fuzion is made by firestone. and both have a nearly identical tread pattern. IMO you pay for what you get.

I have some 295/35/18 Wide Ovals and they are the best tires I have had to date.

They are better than Goodyear F-1 Supercars! Night and day difference from many of the other tires I have used in the past.

Wide Ovals kick ***. I wish they made a 315. My 275s stuck better, straight and turning, than my 315 Vredesteins do - wet and dry. No better tire for the money.

I recently bought a set of Fuzions, and so far, I like them. However, I'm not drag racing them. Since they're both made by the same company, but their prices are significantly different, I would hope that there was a performance difference with the more expensive tire (Wide Oval).

I have the uzions now and I heard someone say when the tire gets worn down, they dont stick anymore. So I am limited with what tire I can get. I have the stock 16' rim as u can see in sig photo. I like to go to the drag strip. I would like to get mid 12's and maybe 1.9 60ft. What do u guys think. Thanks
