Do you mean the Fuzion ZRI? If so, they are made by Bridgestone, not Firestone. I have a set of the Fuzions and they do just fine as a street tire.

I just put a set on my new 18's. The only down side is that the biggest size they have in 18's is a 265/35/18, that what i went with all the way around and they look great.

Yea they are the ZRi's. My rims are 18x8.5s. Think the 265/35's will fit or do i need to stick with 245/40? How do they hook up?

Same company. I don't know how good these tires are, though. I just got my Firestone Wide Ovals (275/40/17) put on yesterday, though, and so far I'm pleased with them - just not with the installer.

I have them all the way around on my V6. They look good, sound comfort is good for the money, and ride comfort is good as well. Good tires for the money if you're keeping the daily driver idea. I know they try to let loose when making 90 degree turns quickly from a stop. I guess most tires do though.

I had them on my 94 T/A and I liked them, all around a good street tire and they hooked up nicely on the street.

Can't beat em for the money. If you are looking to 'hook up' ehh... I did go from a 2.4 to a 2.1 60' though... They hold well on the curves, and I've put about 3k-4k miles on my rears and they still look like the day I bought them. I've made about 10 passes on them, and the ocasional fun on the road, oh yeah, and I did two doughnuts

Ok cool, well i should be getting these in a week or so. The POS bald capitol navigators on it now arent worth a crap so i cant wait. Good to hear they are also decently sticky. I am hoping to get some DRs on my stock rims for the track. Thanks for the info. MY 100th Post!

Also everyone is telling me my rims are 18x8.5s but i am measuring them to 18x8. Should the 265/35's fit on back? and use the 245/40 up front?
