Running them on my ride since this summer and love them except for one thing

They are NOT mud/snow rated. and for good reason, as I discovered during an intense snowstorm this december (cable chains are your friend!) and also when going over stevens and snoqualime passes during the holiday season.

so if you are likely to be driving around in snow a lot, well I'd not run these during the winter. but for the other 8 or so months of the year they are great tires.

I've talked to a few folks at the local firestone who have run both the name brand bridgestone and the Fuzion (made by bridgestone) and they said they actually prefer the Fuzion's

I agree. This is my first go with Fuzion tires, and I'm really happy with them. I needed to replace the front tires as soon as I bought the car, Firestone was the only tire shop open, and that was the only tire they had in the MX-3's oddball 205/55/15 size. The price was pretty good, so I went ahead and got 'em, and have been really happy with them.

Falken RT-215s they are not, but for normal to slightly spirited street driving, these seem to be very good tires indeed.

I got 205/40 R17 Fuzions and they are awesome, handling, wear and most importantly the price, i think I paid like $48 per tire
