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've had my Fuzions for about 3 or so weeks now, i like them a lot. they seem to catch traction very well (car doesnt really spin um much in the first place).

i would definitely recommend them, i wanted to take pics yesterday, but didnt

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.

I would go with the new firestone wide-oval. I think its a better tire then the fuzion.

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.

On the track with HP and 4.11s they bounce more than a basketball during the Final Four!!!
