I've run both and had serious premature wear on the ES100's at 8K and the road noise was a killer. They gripped OK both wet and dry. Since then I've bought 3 sets of the ZRi's and have nothing but praise for them. They have worn great, good dry grip, excellent wet grip, and they are fairly quiet even in the large sizes I run. Personally I'm not concerned about the sidewall design at all and feel it's the least important consideration when buying a tire. Looks like the Fuzions beat out the Yoko's hands down in your poll.

Well in that case, the car in my avatar has them on it. Looks good to me! Since when is the sidewall design the selling point on a tire? You asked us all for our opinions and we gave them to you with a resounding vote for the ZRi's and all you care about is asthetics? In that case mount a fire extiguisher and a NOS bottle in the back hatch so everyone can see. Geez.

Not much to see really but it's all I have. One thing to keep in mind the ZRi's run smaller in tread width than the ES100's. This makes the Fuzion 'look' narrower even though the section width of both tires are the same.

Thanks for the pics, the wheels look very nice by the way, I like the treadwear, but that darn sidewall, it looks good overall...

Currently have the Yoko ES 100's and the wet grip is bad bad bad! Dry grip is pretty good, but I have 12K miles on them and they are about done. I will be going with the Kuhmo MX next I think.

The MX has a nicetreadwear and sidewall, I think I might go with the Fuzions, or Avon M Tech 500
