I have never heard of "fuzion ZRi" but I have Ziex 512's on my daily driver EP3, and I can certainly testify that they are a lot of tyre for the money.

They seem to handle all temperatures very well, and handle wet weather very well.

I think I have about 30,000 on mine, and it looks like they're going to last a while longer.

If you just want a tire to commute on, get the Ziex. The Fuzion is a good tire, but the Ziex will last you longer and are cheaper.

The ZE-512 is an all-season tire, which means that it's designed to perform okay at a wide range of temperatures, including okay grip in frigid temps and snow as well as warmer weather. All season tires tend to be okay in warm temps but not as good as summer tires, and okay in very cold temps but not as good as winter tires.

If you're not planning on using them in the winter, I would get the Fuzion ZRi.

Fuzion is a new brand created by Bridgestone for the marketing of tires to the tuner crowd. Its ZRi model tire is a "bang for the buck" budget performance tire in the same class as the Yokohama AVS ES100. The ZRi did very well against the ES100 in a side-by-side comparison test conducted by the Tire Rack.

There's no way for you (or anyone else) to know how many miles the ZRi will last, because it's brand new to the market and no one around here has worn out a set.

The difference in cost is only $9 per tire. Again, if you're not planning to use it in winter, I would get the ZRi. If you're looking for an all-season tire for occasional winter use, then the ZE-512 is worth considering.

Thanks for your help

I saw the review for Fuzion ZRi at Tirerack.com but I could not find any reviews for Falken Ziex 512.
Does anyone know where to find Falken Ziex 512 review?
