The Fuzion (that's how it's spelled) brand, which is made by Bridgestone but marketed as its own brand name, is new on the market, so it might be tough getting actual experience reports on them, particularly for wear (which takes a while) and for a larger wheel size than most of us are using. The Fuzion ZRi did well in Tire Rack testing, though...

Sure. They were tested by the Tire Rack against the Avon Tech M500 and the Yokohama AVS ES100. All did well, and all are fairly inexpensive. The ES100 is a fairly well-known tire; you can find lots of reports on them. The Avon and Fuzion are both new to the market, so you'll be among the first to try them. Based on the test results, it sounds like either one is worth trying.

Well, the profile is the same as any other tire in that size. As far as being a "tuner" tire, I think that's just marketing hype - like the two cartoon characters...

I just got some fuzion Hri's on the 14" steelies on my miata...they are good tires for the price($39 ea).

I have seen the Zri's at work and they are definatly more agressive then the Hri's but they are summer only tires.

the zri is a decent dry handeling tire but it isnt that great in wet weather
they arent that loud and have decent tread life
and they are fairly cheap considering other options
