Re: new tires?

Summer only? I used to have Fuzion ZRi's on my talon and was quite satisfied with them, especially considering the price tag they carry. I then ended up putting Fuzion HRi's on my Saab Daily Driver (HRi is the all season, ZRi is summer only). They had great reviews, and I felt they were a very decent tire considering the cost.

Good luck with it!

Re: new tires?

I like my Sumitomos, HTR Z II or HTR Z III. Mine are looking like they'll last at least 30k miles (not super hard driving, just a few autocrosses), and they're only about $100 each.

I'm sure if Kracka could post (lol) he would chime in, he has the III on his evo.

Re: new tires?

We sell Fuzion's at my work. They are a great tire for the money.

Re: new tires?

I think it's about $80 a tire. I work at Tires Plus and we price match or beat any price you can find garenteed.

Re: new tires?

I've ran BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW's on a few of my cars and they are a great tire, awesome wet and dry traction, just don't drive in the snow with them. I forgot how much they cost now, but they lasted me about 30-40k miles on a daily driver.
