Tire Rack:

The Fuzion brand has been introduced to meet the needs of sport compact car, sports car and sport truck driving enthusiasts and tuners. The first product to carry the Fuzion name is the Fuzion ZRi, an Ultra High Performance Summer tire that combines advanced UNI-T technology with affordable pricing.

UNI-T technologies focus on three primary tire components, the beads, casing and tread, which influence overall performance while enhancing comfort, handling and traction. The Fuzion ZRi molds a Long Link Carbon (an advanced form of carbon black) and a silica-reinforced tread compound into an aggressive, directional tread design to enhance dry traction that also evacuates water from between the tire’s contact patch and the road to improve wet grip and reduce the possibility of hydroplaning. Internally, the Fuzion ZRi ’s casing and twin steel belts deliver responsive handling and cornering stability. The steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to provide high-speed durability while minimizing weight and maximizing ride qualities. The Fuzion ZRi features Rim Guard rubber ridges on its lower sidewalls to function as bumpers to help protect wheels from curb damage.

Thank God! Finally a tire with UNI-T technology...

When are these marketing gurus going to learn to give us quality numbers to evaluate their product for our needs instead of marketing babble.

I wonder if UNI-T implies that the tires are made by Bridgestone. Isn't UNI-T one of their trademarked technologies?

What's so unusual about that?

"Z" rated tires are rarer these days under the new system.
