i was going to get the potenza 950's but i didnt want to replace my tires every 5k miles. these are a hell of alot better then that eagle crap. same size but w rated. i likem and i got them for 350.

$350...sheesh thats cheap. I paid $580 for 4 Potenza G009's mounted and balanced. Yeah I got raped, but the shitty tires that came with the car ("LeManz" brand...in the wrong size) were horrible in the snow.

The Potenza is however a wonderful tire, great ride quality, low noise, and EXCELLENT grip.

This reminds me, I need to get mine rotated.

wow...thats about what i spend per tire...i miss the days of inexpensive tires.

i spent $850 last tire change (235/40zr18)

Yeah the price seems a little low. I mean Eagle RS-As are a little underacheiving and overpriced, yes, but "you get what you pay for" still holds true to some degree with tyres. Also RS-As are all-seasons and these are summer tyres. So comparing those is like apples to oranges to some degree. It's better to compare these with other summer-only tyres instead.

Perhaps these perform better at first, but I'd be wary of longevity/reliability problems, and perhaps concerned with build quality, materials, etc. It's a bit too late to say that now that you've bought them so I hope they turn out well for you anyway.

Seems Fuzion is a lower-line of Bridgestone's (made with similar technology like Uni-T but likely with cheaper materials, perhaps made overseas, etc.).

Here's one review that sounds a little scary:
"Loved the tires the first 10000 miles. After that road noise and ride got worse and worse. Had alignment, bearings etc. checked out and problem was not with car but with tires. Still have about 5000 miles left on tread but replacing tires now because I cant stand it anymore. Good experiment but definitely would not recommend the tires to anyone"

But there are others that are okay. Hopefully you don't get the road noise problem some others have encountered...

Ew I just noticed they were Fuzions. I read it wrong and thought you got the Potenzas. Umm..Fuzions...yeah...OLIL Ricer tires. Only offered in low profiles with agressive looking tread paterns but absolutely CRAP for grip. When it bought my tires the salesman flat-out refused to sell me the Fuzions. In was in february and he told me "I dont want you to come back here telling me I sold you crap tires after you spin into a ditch. Don't buy these, they're crap".

what did you buy instead. was he maybe trying to pitch you more expensive tires. my buddy has had them on his vette witha 19/20 combo and hes the one who recomended them. its only been a couple miles so far but i like them. i keep an update on them.
