Well, I got the tires today, and as usual it ended up being dictated by what the local dealerships had in stock for both the front and rear tires. My choices boiled down to:
1. Fuzion ZRi's
2. Kuhmo Ecsta ASX
3. Yokohama AS430
I went with the Yoko's because I did a web search and could find only good things said about them. I ruled out the Kuhmo's because the Ecsta 712s I have on my 300ZX are so noisy after about 20K of driving it sounds like a bearing is failing. These Kuhmo's are different tires, but I just didn't want to gamble. I didn't select the Fuzion's because I wasn't familiar with that brand, only that it's supposed to be a "child line" from Bridgestone/Firestone aimed at the import tuner market. I DID have to admit they looked pretty cool, but I didn't want to be Rennlist's official guinea pig.
The Yoko's CLAIM they have a 60,000 mile tread wear warranty on them, so I figure that in about 20 or 30 thousand miles I'll probably be collecting on it!
