Speaking from experience, I've been REALLY pleased with the Fuzion ZRi's in 195/50/15 (made by Bridgestone).

$57 a piece, and they've held up very well. They still have above 90% tread after about nine months of regular driving (sometimes over 1500 miles a month).

They're a redesign of the Bridgestone RE750, which were the tires I had on my wheels before. I was quite pleased with those, and am even more impressed with the ZRi's. Very good wet and dry traction, very little road noise, very little sidewall roll. If any complaint, it's that the sidewalls are a bit softer than the RE750's, but they're really not soft comparable to other tires.

I too can vouch for the zri's.

Good tire at a good price.

SoyMilk

Click on "Shop By Brand" and Find Fuzion.

And yes, the traction is quite nice.

Both Bridgestone tires, just one is an updated design.

I really couldn't tell much difference between the two, having one right after the other. The ZRi seem to have better wet traction (regardless of the customer reviews), but the RE750's are a bit stiffer on the sidewall.

If I had to pick again, I'd still take the ZRi's over the RE750's. For the money, they ZRi's are just a better tire.

i have the yoko es100's and they perform pretty well. I upgraded from the ziex's and man what a difference in the dry and rain. I can push these tires to the limit and they dont slip at all. Wear is great too. I've put on over 20k on my car and i still have about 85% tread left all around. got them on my ej8 in 205/50/15's.

I've heard alot of good stuff about the zri's...

As for the kuhmo spt's i've heard nothing but good things about them. They were rated against the yoko es100's and there slightly better, not by much though. Pricing on them is great too...theres a guy in the classifieds in socal selling them...i think the price was $280 for 205/50/15's for all 4. My next set of tires will probably be the spts forsure...

SoyMilk

i used es 100 , didnt like them so much.. they are alright.. yea i saw the guy who is sellin the kumho spt for $250 on south but iam lookin for smaller tires he is sellin 205/50/r15

If you guys ever used these tires or know about them, give me some heads up,
Which one do you guys prefer thx!

Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212
or
Yokohama AVS ES100
or
Falken Ziex ZE-512
or
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport
or
Kumho Ecsta SPT

or anything you guys experience with that is good for the price.

I hated the Yokohama AVS ES100's, Falken Ziex's suck, I'm rockin' the Hankook Ventus RS-2's right now and I love the 200 tread wear for DD. They are just as sticky as Falken 615's, but a couple bucks cheaper.

If you want long lasting tires with even tread wear, I also suggest getting Nitto Neo Gen's.

SoyMilk

hmm anymore suggestion buying some tomorrow or next day !!!!!!!

SRSLYJDM

If your going for Cheap and long lasting I'd say get the Neo Gen's.

Cheap and perform well: Hankook Ventus RS-2's.

SoyMilk

oR the Fuzion ZRi or the Kumho SPT???

jdmztrane

Dunlop Driezza's are in the same price range as those. Ive had them for a while and love them.... so you may want to look into them too. Great traction in all conditions and you can push them pretty hard too.

I paid 200 for the set of 4. IMO theyre the best tire in that price range.... and yes Ive had most of the ones you have listed.

I had those for a while, they're not exactly performance tires. They're a good all-weather, but that's about it.
