Fuzion Tires Anyone?

zippymbr · 07-26-05, 12:02

Has anyone tried Fuzion tires? I need new tires for the van and was wondering. I have Kumho HP4's on there right now but want a quieter tire. Any help or suggestions?

FWIW, I've just put a few hundred miles on a set of HRi's on my Focus. Seems to be a fairly quiet tire, but my Focus isn't exactly a Lexus when it comes to isolation from noise.

Thanks, would you say they are a softer ride, or alittle stiff. What tire did you have stock that you are comparing it to?

From the August issue of Road and Track magazine:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey. I get a lot of road noise and am wondering if it could be the tire tread. I have written Honda twice, and called them once asking for a reply. Needless to say I'm still waiting. If it is the tread, could you recommend one that is not noisy.

The only sources we've found for industrywide knowledge of tire noise characteristics are the huge tire mail-order companies. The Tire Rack (888-371-8473), for example, tests and logs such data, which is available to their mail-order salesman. You could also try Discount Tire Direct (800-790-6444).

I was looking at the Fusion tires for my Mustang awhile back but went with the Falken 512's. They have an excellent price at Discount Tire direct and free shipping. I actually had Sears meet their price for my Mustang and had the local Discount tire meet the price for my daughters two tires I recently put on her 03 Mustang. They ride extremely smooth and very quiet. Definitely would recommend them. I had more expensive Z rated Dunlops SP5000's on my Mustang before and they were crap. The Falkens were rated one of the top tires by Consumer Reports.

I have Fuzion ZRi's on my Impala. 255/50/17. Theyre great in wet and have nice grip in the dry. I've used them at the track a couple of times.

I'm coming from BFG KDWS, and the bridgestones are a class above. Not to mention $50 bucks cheaper than the BFGS. Its an excellent tire the the price.

its really a totally different tire than the kdw's

My O.E. tires were Firestone Firehawk GTAs (H-rated). I'd say they ride about the same.

I'm REALLY torn on my next tires.
Trying to decide between Dunlop FM901's, BF G Force Sports, Falken KF451s, Toyo Proxes 4s, or cheaper tires like Aurora K103's, Fuzion Zri's.
All the reviews I read on the ZRi's are just gushing; everyone seems to love them for the price.

hadboosttroy · 08-03-05, 01:03

out of your choices listed, the only two i would consider are the fm901's and the zri's (for a good value tire that still is nice)

I have zri's on my s2000, there the best tires you can get for your money, great in the rain, and they let you know when ther loosing grip in the dry.
