i work for bridgestone and we came out with a new tire called the fuzion. it's speed rated at "w" and you would be amazed at how great they handle and what you can get them for. i'm running 235/45r17. if intrested let me know.

 

you got any pic's do they come in 20's

 

Got any pics?

 

yes they come in 20's goto "thefuzionzone.com" i will get some pic's of my 2k2 tomorrow.

 

is this an all-season tire? And do they come in our STOCK size 225/50/17?

......although, Bridgestone says the Potenza RE92 is an "all season tire" too - yeah, right...as long as the season doesn't have any rain or snow....

do we have any "independent" views of this tire?

 

i don't know about snow because they're too new but i run blizzaks in the snow. as far as rain they have been great. and sorry we don't carry them in 225/50r17...i agree the re 92's are horrible in wet weather...

 

are they actually MADE in 225/50/17?

 

no we don't produce them in that size at all....sorry

 

that's too bad...guess I'll get another set of Falkens since Bridgestone doesn't feel like making OEM-sized Fuzion tires for the maxima....

I feel so oppressed....it's a conspriacy...j/j

 

You can put 225/45/17 on stock 17 x 7 wheel and you are still in the spec it's harder to find better tire in the 225-50-17 size. I run a 40 serie tire now and my next set of rubber is going to be in the 45 serie, probably 235-45-17.

yeah I know, but I like the OEM size...less $$ and doesn't stick out from the rim like a 235.....and lower-profile 225/45 just creates MORE wheel gap (as if I don't have enough)...

moot point though, I love my Falkens anyhow.

 

The site didn't really have much of a pic. Please post some pics of the actual tire.

What kind of pricing are you talking about? I might consider them and I am looking for some tires in 225/45/17 or maybe 235/45/17.
