I run the Fuzions too. They are a good tire, perform just as good as the high dollar performance tires out there at a lower price. Mine have worn down quick, but I don't exactly take it easy on the curves.

I got some BFs that run fine. They're the all-weather ones that look like they could be mud tires if the tread were deeper. Sorry that I can't think of the name. Big improvement over stock.

I myself am running 245/40 Sumitomo all seasons...they ride smoother and quieter than stock and obviously handle cold wet weather much better thna the oe Potenza's, but they are mediocre on the autocross course....but they were cheap at only $115 each.

if you buy tires from a local tire shop they usually do alot more for you if yo have problems then when you buy over the internet and you try make a claim over the phone.

Best point ever made - local business has customer service!

But please don't make the mistake of providing your 8 and your money to a local shop that's devoid of CS!

I went to Discount Tire today b/c of a slow leak in my tires... two went flat overnight AFTER I had taken them there to get repaired.



Long story short, driving a total of 5 mi on almost flat tires is very bad. I had to get two replaced and got Kuhmo's, 245/40/18's. I've only driven 10 mi, but so far so good!



I'm glad you like your tires chica! I didn't realize how important they are until you get different ones and then you can feel the difference...
