Default Fusion ZRI??

So I went to my tire shop today, and got a quote for BFG KDW's, $200 a tire. He told me I might want to look at these "Fusion ZRI" tires, they come in the size I need, and those were only $140.

Does anybody have these? What are they like? I could use all the info.


Granted, I know BFG's are great, but they are also pretty pricey.

Fuzion ZRi is a new brand recently introduced by Bridgestone to provide entrance into the "tuner" market. This is a high performance tire for lower cost than most performance tires with higher grades in traction, treadwear, construction, etc... Most people I have talked to are very happy with them overall and they are starting to sell very well. (I work at Firestone part time)

I used to work for firestone and sold many sets of the Fuzions. I can't recall a single customer who didn't like them. You can't beat the performance of them for the price.

I got them through work for $99/tire (275/40/17) about two weeks ago, and I love them. Very sticky though, they pick up everything!

You should also look into the Dayton Z rated. Very affordable and they have ths same tread pattern as the Firestone Firehawk.

the wideoval is the 'firestone' version of the fuzion. practically the same tire as 'bridgestone' fuzion. if u also look at the bridgestone RE750 it is the same tire. its just there way of making more money......fuzion is best for price.
