Tire opinions
I've got a hookup at Firestone, looking at getting a set of one of the following:
Potenza RE750
Firehawk Wide Oval
Fuzion ZRi
There's about a $150 difference between a set of the Fuzions and the Potenzas, with the Firehawks in the middle. I am not too worried about wet traction - I live in the desert. Are the Potenzas worth the extra money - is handling significantly better, and will they last much longer? This is my daily driver, but I only have a 5 miles commute, and get to the track occasionally.

All of those tires are nice.
I would go with the Re-750s they are my DOT/street tires on my hatch and do great for me.
I have the ZRIs on the camaro and like them alot.
Firehawk wide oval is a good tire as well.
You can't really lose if you ask me, just pick what suits you best price range wise. If handling means alot *not just straight and hooking up* the potenzas are better then the ZRI I feel also a tad quieter. They also stay quieter when wearing.
Anything else just ask
