Tire info - mrbaggio - 12-05-2006
I am looking to get new tires for my daily driver WRX. I want to buy them from the local Firestone shop because I have a gift card. I am looking for something with decent grip and LOW price.
The guy at the shop suggested these:
ZRi Fuzion 205/55R16 W $83.99
Do you guys know anything about this tire. If it does indeed suck point me to another option.
Thanks

- mrbaggio - 12-05-2006
Bridgestone Firestone Fuzion and Lemans

i know some people in MM have or have had fuzions ZRi's and liked them...i might consider them next time around

Justin,
I used the Fuzions on my XR for a while. I used them for track time actually, and I was really impressed with them. They wore well, gripped decent (When compared to other street tires) and were cheap.
Fuzion is a spinoff of Bridgestone. The ZRi's have "Uni-T" so they grip well as they wear. I would recommend them.

i have bridgestone re750s on the back of the s.... VERY happy with them, but they're probably a bit more expensive than the fuzions.
- mrbaggio - 12-05-2006
Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I will go with the Fuzions. It seems they are a good tire for the price.
Mike, yep the re750s are a bit more expensive.

Justin,
I know you said you had a giftcard to Firestone, but check out here if you want cheap tires. No Fuzions though. Lowest at $56 per tire. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.edgeracing.com">www.edgeracing.com</a><!-- w -->. I had great success with them, and got my Falkens from them.

but... he has a gift certificate to firestone.

I believe Mike's point is that even the savings on that site do not make up the difference of the saving with the gift card.
Thanks tho.

True. FWIW I am a customer of theirs now for life, so yeah.

After buying one set of tires you are a lifetime customer?
You should seriously get off of the "whats cool on honda-tech this month" bandwagon.

thats included with the "road hazard" warranty
- mrbaggio - 12-06-2006
Bought the tires. I would suggest the Firestone shop to others. They destroyed the cheapest online price I could find. For you guys are in need of tires and want one of the brands they carry check em out. I think they have stores all over the country.
Unfortunately there was no happy ending.

i'm actually going to look for daily tires for the teg soon, i may consider this if they can work out a mounting balancing deal and/or beat the price online
i don't pay attention or read: are they all-season's Bagg?
