Default I have to speak my dislike for Fuzion ZRi's.

The thing that pisses me off about them is how easily they're punctured. Other than that, they have decent treadwear and grip, I guess.

I've had these tires for about 6 months now. Bought them brand new. So far, I've had to have a plug put in both of my rear tires and now my front passenger tire is going low... yet another plug will go in that one. It's such bullshit.

I've driven the same route for 3 years now and never got a single flat with my BFG KDW's. As soon as the Fuzions went on, it seems like it never ends.

I definately won't be buying these tires again.

I got a cut in my right rear somehow on the interstate. Kinda sucked. So I just bought some 315's since they were getting pretty worn anyway. I got 2.0 60' times out of mine. Not too awful bad.

Are the Fuzion ZRi available in a 315mm size? 'cause I haven't been able to find them.

None of them were nails. It was little ****, like pieces of metal. Something that a harder compound tire would roll right over and kick out.

I'm not sure what's causing the one on my front tire, but I'll probably find out this weekend.
