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 tires feature subtle black letter styling and will be available in 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, 40-, 35-, and 30-series H-, V- or W-speed rated sizes for 16" to 20" wheel diameters.

Pros:
very cheap, but good tires
Cons:
wet grip
The Fuzion ZRi\'s are very cheap. I paid $120 for a piece for 18\"s. They aren\'t loud, a little noise is present, but no one else notices but me. They grip very well, with decent turn-in and very predictable handling. They don\'t really let you know too well just when they are going to lose traction, but when they do, its very controllable and doesn\'t snap around. Wet traction is questionable, but the same predictable characteristics are there. Unsure of tire wear at this point, as I only have ~500 mi. on them. As a bonus, these tires look pretty cool, too (my gf actually said my tires look cool!)
all in all, a great tire if you\'re on a budget

Pros:
Cheap, All weather Performance and Looks
Cons:
Noticeable tire noise but it isn\\\'t extreme...not comparable to higher grade dry traction tires.
Price above is for all 1 tire mounted and balanced...the price I paid for each.
These tires were a good purchase for everyday use. I got them in 225 55R16...maximum width tire for the stock WRX rims.
These are GOOD tires for any daily driven car that needs to have good tread life. I\'ve had them for about 3K and no noticeable wear yet...I measured
Don\'t think that these tires will compare to any of the really good dry traction or auto-x tires...these are for daily sport driving not racing. If anything I\'d say they\'re about one a half steps down from Yokohama AVS ES100s and the other\'s in that range. So, don\'t expect to get tons of traction with them. If anything, they\'re above average.
Also, the noise is pronounced but can be drained out by either the radio at pretty low volume or by engine sounds...not so bad.
EDIT: I spun out on these tires on a gravelled surface at 40 MPH. Downgraded the rating to 7...would actually be more like a 6.5 with the RE92s being a 4. The morale of the story is...you get what you pay for.
