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. :grinno:

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.

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

:nixweiss 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.

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 heard Fuzion is made by Bridgestone and overall Fuzion makes good tires.

Just to let you guys know if you are interested in Fuzion tires .
Find the cheapest price you can online for them and print the page out . Go to your local Bridgestone and have them do a price match .
I did this for 17" Zri`s and paid almost half of what bridgestone was charging originally .
Bridgestone also has a warranty for about $30 that if the tires are damaged or even ( I think ) catch a flat from nail or what not they will fix or replace it free of charge with the guarantee ..
