Tire info

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
-Justin

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
