The Bridgestone/Firestone Potenza RE730 tires were fantastic compared to the OEM rubber Eagle RSA tires. But after 25,000 hard driven miles, I once again needed new tires. A tech at Tires Plus informed me of a new brand of tires named Fuzion that were manufactured by Bridgestone & Firestone. The ZRi model was supposed to be the same as the old RE730 at almost half the price. I picked up four of them, again from TireRack for about $56.00 each plus UPS shipping. I had the tires mounted a few days later at a local shop.

Since then, I've driven the car with the new Fuzion ZRi tires for a few thousand miles and they feel just as good as the more expensive RE730 rubber. The ride is still supple and luxurious with plenty of grip, traction and a predictable amount of slide when cornering hard. The Fuzion ZRi is labeled as a "ultra high performance summer tire", which is fine with me because there's no way that I'm driving anywhere in the snow. I've got South Florida blood and I try to keep myself in tropical climates at all times.
