What tire?

Hello. I recently got a job a Firestone and I get tires at their cost plus 10%. I figure this is a deal so I should replace rear tires, since the fronts have <1000 on them. I live in Alabama so snow is not an issue in the winter, I want something greater than H rated. I was thinking the Fuzion Zri's. I'm not sure what everyone would suggest so please chime in.

Why not match the fronts with the rears? Same brand/size.

I didn't even think of that. Not a bad idea. I have Fuzion Hri's on the rear. It would save me some money since I don't think I'll be doing over 130MPH. Thanks.

Not only is the tire rated for a certain amount of speed, the entire construction is different. This can be noted when cornering etc. Try www.tirerack.com, loom under tire tech. A lot of good, educational information there.
