I have the opportunity to get these for a decent deal, but I have read mixed reviews on tirerack.com. It sounds like tread wear isn't the best nor do they stick very well, but hard to say. Can anyone here comment?

 

I heard they were made by Bridgestones and sold under the brand Fuzion. They're not the best tires, but they're made for people who buy wheels every 6 months for showoff and doesn't bring their cars to the track.

BTW, did you get my PM?

 

ZRis are my summer set; 235/45R17s on the OEM SE wheel. Good tire for the money ($526 OTD). This is my second summer on them and I probably have about 16K to 18K on them (I don't track the mileage I switch to and from the snow set). I rotated them last month and there was still plenty of thread left at 7/32 to 9/32. It has the "Uni-T" design so I suspect once you wear into the softer compound underneath, it's fast wearing, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Wet and dry grip, resistance to hydroplaning, steering response and cornering stability are pretty good, but on the down side, they are very noisy below 40 mph and they tramline on the smallest road imperfections.

 

thanks for the info. and limsandy, you have a reply PM.
