I am shopping around for some tires and so far, most people I've talked to recommend these tires for the 951. Anyone have them or know of anyone who does?? Are they worth the performance for the lower price??

Do a search and you will find that many here are running them. I have had a set since this spring and have no complaints in my use as a street tire. They work well in the rain. I am more than satisfied given the price. If you are looking for a street tire that delivers all that is necessary for a good price, look no further.

Last year I ran 225/50-16 in front and 245/45-16 in rear. The tires felt very greasy for the first 500 street miles, after one DE they wore in just fine and car started feeling very planted. Also, I was surprised how well they handled in the rain. 100 mph in the rain is no problem.

On the track, they do decent job; however, don't expect confindence inspiring response as say Toyo Proxes RA-1's. I now think of them as my "rain tires". Will I buy them again? Yeah, especially for the dirt cheap price.

The fuzion tires are great i put them on when i bought my car. If u just looking for a good street tire they are great for that. I dont know about track use though. I used to have bridgestone re730's and they were alot better under hard cornering but not much better than the fuzions. For the prce i dont think u can beat it. But then again i probably dont drive as hard as most people. But thats my opinion

I run 225/50-R16 front, and 245/45-R16 on the rear, Fuzion ZRi's, I am extremely happy with them, very price-efficient, and great value. I ran 4 or 5 auto-x's on mine, and I barely have any noticeable wear, and for just over $100CDN each, that's great. They're very sticky, and allow my car to outdrive me still.

I have 235/40/17 and 255/40/17. I think they are a great bang for the buck. They handle good enough for a street tire and I don't have much to compare with. The only reason I may go with another tire is that I don't think make them in a 265/40/17 that I want for the rear.

They are for street use, I guess I am definitely getting them, all the feedback has been more than satisfactory and I am done debating and researching. Thanks everyone!

I have been quite happy with the 235/45-17 F and 275/40-17 R on my turbo. As already stated the rain handling is very good, and the grip is more than suffice. I used to smoke Goodyear GS-C of the same sizes and the Fuzions just plant and hook up! You will not be sorry, especially for the money.

I've had mine on the 951 for over a year and they are wearing well, still grip wet/dry, and have not gained any noise. I run 215'40-17 R and 255/40-17 F. Best tire I've had on either 944 yet
