I just happened to score a set of ponies for a good price for my car...and they need a pair of tires.

I'm going to go with 245/50-16's and found a new brand name at tirerack.com - the fuzions.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Fuzion&tireModel=ZRi&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=45WR6ZRI&fromCompare1=yes

the tread pattern and speed rating looks to be the same as this bridgestone tire...at roughly half the price.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Potenza+RE750&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=45WR6RE750&fromCompare1=yes


any thoughts? Know of anyone using these new tires or a tire shop that sells them? Or of course any hook up prices

that game is hard

At any rate.....other than evceryday driving, are you looking for these tires for any kind of performance (handling, traction, etc), or just a daily driven tire with longevity?

looking for performance on a budget

oh and my stang is *not* a daily driver, but sometimes I forget that

car is lowered with FMS/FRPP 'B' springs, has stock sways, and everything on the car is brand new - all brake components (lines, pads, rotors, wheel cylinders, hardware, master cylinder, etc etc etc).

I do ultimately plan to autocross with the car but I expect these tires wont be good for that, I just can't afford more than $100 a tire right now.

That's because it's made by Bridgestone.

welp I couldn't find the fuzion's anywhere local so I just went to america's tire co. and had my next choice thrown on (kumho ecsta's)

now my coupe is sitting on ponies with 245/50-16's all around The new pair of tires I threw on the back. The fronts are yokohama ES100's with about 50% tread left. Looks way better than with the old 10 holes





I love the look, this tire size goes great with my FMS 'B' springs. Just hope I get used to the rubbing up front and learn how far I can turn getting into my driveway
