I am. I like them really well. They are a fairly new tire and they will become bigger once everyone starts using them. I personally wouldn't have gotton them but I had to have a set of tires in a pinch and that Is all that was in stock so I got them and I have been really pleased. They did really well at deals gap. They are pretty grippy. Not as grippy as the azenis but I got my tires for 76 dollars a piece and they are 17s.

thats a weird answer to his question. he's asking abt Fuzion tires and u post a link to Falken tires?
my bro has the Fuzion ZRi on his S14, not bad. good in both dry and wet. the limits r not as extreme as max performance tires such as SO3s, Azenis, but for daily driving those r enough. i was telling him to get the ES100, but they were out of stock. these r probably better than the ES100. |

No, that wasn't your answer. You could have easily typed that out and made your point.
Otherwise, it just comes off as petty. There's no reason to believe these tires aren't of a good quality. They are new and there's little data about them yet. Why couldn't you type that out? |

I'm gonna agree with Uncle Scotty. The Fuzions may be made by a good company, but that means nothing(Bridgestone also makes the RE92, is that a great tire?) Yokohama makes the Parada and that tire may look good, but it's a a piece of junk(used them on my GTI). They are just another tire meant to appeal to the Honda crowd who only care about looks. Falkens offer outstanding performance for the money, I took Uncle Scotty's advice and got FK-451's and couldn't be happier. Spend a few extra bucks for a real tire.

I have them...they are excellent, the only downside is they don't communicate traction very well if that makes sense...some tires just dont speak to driver as well as others. The ZRi's are progressive and predicable, just not very communicative.
ANyways...Re750 Bridgestones are the same as the Fuzion ZRi's...go ahead...compare the tread patterns, theyre nearly identical. |

exactly...
like i said...for the money...u cant really beat them...they are comparable tires, but the bridgestones tend to wear nicely and are quiet...
I didnt say they were the "best" tire out there, but for the best with tires...you always have to spend more money... look at the price of a highline michelin... chad b cbrd chadblock.com |

i have driven on them....
and like i said, i thought they were a great tire for the money.
quiet...smooth (felt like a decent sidewall, maybe a bit more pressure needed) but we tend to run 40-50 psi on street tires chad b |
