As far as I have searched, no one has yet tried these tires. Anyone? I know they are on the WRX praxis/fusion show car, but who's seen them or tested them?

Produced by Bridgestone, the Fuzion brand has been introduced to meet the needs of sport compact car, sports car and sport truck driving enthusiasts and tuners. The first product to carry the Fuzion name is the Fuzion ZRi, an Ultra High Performance Summer tire that combines advanced UNI-T technology with affordable pricing.

UNI-T technologies focus on three primary tire components, the beads, casing and tread, which influence overall performance while enhancing comfort, handling and traction. The Fuzion ZRi molds a Long Link Carbon (an advanced form of carbon black) and a silica-reinforced tread compound into an aggressive, directional tread design to enhance dry traction that also evacuates water from between the tire’s contact patch and the road to improve wet grip and reduce the possibility of hydroplaning. Internally, the Fuzion ZRi ’s casing and twin steel belts deliver responsive handling and cornering stability. The steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon to provide high-speed durability while minimizing weight and maximizing ride qualities. The Fuzion ZRi features Rim Guard rubber ridges on its lower sidewalls to function as bumpers to help protect wheels from curb damage.
Fuzion ZRi



This tire will compete with Yokohama, Kumho, and Sumitomo. Testing will be done soon so stay tuned!

Long term life cant be stated a 100% just yet cause its so new, but expect an AVERAGE of 30K miles. Sidewall will be similar, but not as stiff as the Advan.
