fuzion tires
I just finished putting 1400 miles on a set of 16 inch Fuzions......great ride ...no noise....better than the Kuhmos they replaced...much, much better than the SO'2 that were on in 2000,2001. Looks like they will do very well on wear. Ran into some intense thunderstorms...they were very good in rain. I usually run my 18 inch Fikses....but these were so nice I'll probably run these 16 inchers on long trips. Bridgestone did a good job on these...more proof that a big price does not equil good tires...just big profit.

ZX3: I'm just a bit **** about mixing tire makes/models/tread patterns....so I ended up buying a complete new set of the Potenzas which are supposed to be decent in terms of noise, ride, and wet/dry conditions. The real problem is the dogone rears with the 245/45/16....manufacturers make them for a year or two then discontinue them...so when the rears wear out long before the fronts, you have to go hunting for a brand that still has the staggered matched set.
