Default Fuzion ZRi or Cooper Zeon 2XS ?

My 2000 WS6 convertible is due for tires (275/40/17). I can get 4 of either of these for under $550 driveout. I have found a few reviews of the Fuzion but not much about the Cooper.
Does anyone have any experience or info about them?
thanks,
Kurt

I have the Fuzions, they are a great tire for the price. Excellent wet & dry handling, outstanding traction and a good looking tread pattern. I have run the Good Years and BFGs, don't seem to last very long for what they cost.

Where do you buy Fuzion tires? I have the Kumho 711's. Decent look, but definitely a cheap tire. $58 for 245/50/16's. You get what you pay for. There is a new BFG G-force sport. Check those out. One of the guys here bought those for his 328i and loves those.

I like the Zeon's. Ive had them on the front tires only for about 6 months and no complains. Great handling in dry weater. I dont drive the car too often in the rain but when I did they ran fine. I like them.

You can buy them at any Firestone Master Care or anyone who sells Firestone or Bridgestone tires.

I've found both and the tread pattern on the Cooper would be my choice. Hell, they give you a 45 day test drive?

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I have 4,000 miles on my set and am very pleased in every way. However, I do not drive my car in the rain, so I cannot comment on wet traction. But I did a lot of research before buying them and everything I found on them was positive and I am very glad I chose them.

I have the Fuzions and like them a lot so far. I really have nothing to compare too considering my car came with bald tires and i just changed them for some new fuzions. Man $550 is a good price. I paid $700 but mine are 265/35/18 and 245/40/18's. I am basically stock auto and i usually get a little spin at WOT on the 1-2 shift and a little bark. But in first they hook well and throws you into your seat. Wear seems good so far even with the occasional donut on them. hea hea

I've had my Fuzions on for about 7 months now and they're still going great. No signs of much wear yet and they still hook great! I have an A4 and put down about 338/345 and sometimes I can't kick the rear end out when I want to because these things grip too much. I wouldn't hesitate to get them again, except my stall will simply blow them off once I get it on the car.

I just put (4) 275-40/17's Fuzion ZRi's on my WS-6. I paid $ 120/pc plus the other crap at Tires plus. Total was $ 600 with an alignment.

I love the tires, great traction wet or dry, smooth quiet ride.
