New Fuzion Tires

[advocate]

I have ordered these for my SHO. 225/55/16's. Look like a decent tire and you can't beat the price!

[AutoSHO]

I would like to know what kind of warranty they come with... Tirerack.com shows no warranty of any kind. Tread design looks nice for a summer tire...

They're Bridgestone / Firestones, man.

320 treadwear is going to be good for wear, but might be a harder tire.

(look like Bridgestone Potenza RE750's, which have a 340 treadwear actually)

At first glance I though they resembled the Bridgestone RE730 in the shoulder blocks and with UNI-T technology, they must be made by Bridgestone. Since the RE750 (replacement for the RE730) is $120 per tire in that size, I would think there have been some significant cost cutting involved. I'm curious to hear where the performance has been compromised. I suspect that these tires are designed to compete directly with the equivalently low priced Yokohama ES100 amnd Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712. I have heard several SHO owners regret the fitting of the Kuhmos after a few slippery laps around a road race course.

I dunno about that size, but for 235/45/17 the Fusions are $96 each, while the Yokos are $116, the BFG KDWS $117, and Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S $127, and ContiExtreme $118.

I'm not sure if I want the Pirelli PZero Neros or KDWS. The Pirellis are stickier, but they're new tires and I'm not too sure if they'll wear well.

I believe they will be under the Dayton line. I was told they will be a very good tire, especially for the price! But with them being so new who knows how they will be shrug

Guess I will be a guinnea pig. I will report back once I get them.

They will be compared to the RE730's I had on my Mystique.

straight from TireRack's site:

Manufacturer Special Warranty: 30 Day Test Drive

Got to see these tires in person. They look great! I will have them installed within 1 month.

BTW Tire rack has updated their site with the info on the tire including all the specs.

 

[Yamaha V6]

I just got & installed my Toyo Proxes T1-S tires at 235/45-17 last night.

I've had Proxes FZ4's before and I thought they STUNK. Now, as much as I like the T1-S (out of the box anyway, will follow up with more info further into tire life), THIS is a TIRE:

Yokohama A048.

AutobahnSHO1130:
Me likey wheel and tire. burnout

Isn't that tire meant to stop the burnout ? I bet its rather pricey especially with BBS rims *anyone need a liver?*

What about the conntinetal Contact Extreme's they seem to have super high ratings and reviews are greta, and the price is awsome.

 

[billyshoe]

How much are they? my 730's are gettin thin. I paid a lot for 730'S but can't say I'm not satified with them. The RE730 is a great tire!!! My tire needs have changed, again. I would buy the 730's in a heartbeat if they were avialible. I have dayton z's on the other car however they are not as satisfiying. I need a good wet tire. One that is good dry. I could care less about snow.

Then these tires are what you need http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+F1+GS-D3

I just put some RE730's on my car and they are awesome. Got a great deal on them. I know a guy that runs a Firestone shop in Edina, MN he gave them to me for real cheap since they're discontinued. Another real good tire from Bridgestone is the RE950. If you get the V-rated they are just as good as thr 730's. Cheaper I believe too.

 

[billyshoe]

Wheere in Edina?
