I don't post much, but I decided to give my thoughts on the Bridgestone Fuzion ZRi's replacing my stock RE40's, which made it 37,000 miles. The road noise from the RE's was so loud, I was going to need a hearing aide if I didn't replace them soon. Probably could have got another 5K miles on the RE's..if it weren't for the noise.
My MSP is a daily driver, about 70 miles a day, all highway to and from work, so I can't speak as to how the Fuzion ZRi's will perform on the track.
Anyway..Paid $75 per tire (215/45/17) at a local shop. Road noise in comparision to the Potenzas (when they were new) is considerably less. Cornering seems to be fine, although I think the Potenzas might have been a bit better in tight cornering. I'll need to get up on some twisties in the Texas hill country in a few weeks to see how they really perform.
Can't comment on winter performance..I'm in Houston. No snow. Although, this morning, we have quite abit! First White Christmas in Houston, ever.
So far, I can't complain. I think for the price, they are going to be a fine daily driver tire. I'll post a 10,000 mile update, which won't be far off considering how far I drive each week. Oh, also had the shop do the alignment, which it needed. Had the updated alignment specs printed out and in hand for them which was good, their equipment was brand new, but had the factory specs which seem to have the rear toe-in to be a bit too much, hence all this rear wear we see people talking about.
Thanks to all the great posters here who keep us lurkers informed!
