Time for new shoes

[jaxreno]

It is about that time to get some new shoes for the Reno, the stock Kuhmo's just aren't cutting it anymore. I have narrowed my choices down to two. Let me know if any of you have used these before and what your choice would be. Also if you guys have any other suggestions throw them out. I decided to go with 205/55/15's.

Falken Ziex ZE-512
Fuzion ZRi

Both seem to have great reviews for wet and dry traction, and with living in Florida and having my wife and baby in the car, wet traction is very important. Thanks in advance for the input!

Went ahead and ordered the Fuzions at the advice of some friends. They will be here tomorrow, I am going to go ahead and get an alignment as well due to some strange wear on the stock POS's. I will leave a review of them here after I get them installed.

the stock ones suck, driving on basketballs would prolly get better grip.

Is Fuzions the brand or model?

I recently replaced the stock tyres with a set of Bridgestone G009's in a 205/60R15 size. I have to say that with the exception of some ever-so-slight rubbing at full lock, I'm quite pleased with my decision. The stock 195/55R15 tyres never sat right with me and my own past experience in motorsport and elsewhere led me to my current choice.

Don't getme started on what I have. You'll have to twist my arm to getme talking about my car...
OW OW WO, ok, you win! Let go of my arm!

Ok, on the front is my old Kumho ECSTA ASX. I did have a compleet set, but no rotate, and "suspention testing" often on a local tourge, all lead two the fronts getting close to the wear mark.
Those are replaced with BF Goodwrench g-force Sport.
Both are Z rated. The BFGs have better dry handeling, over the Kumhos, but the kumhos have a marked inprovment in wet traction over the BFGs. Rotation after rains, and once for the track meet I have this friday

Comparison from The Tire Rack
Kumho ECSTA ASX
BF Goodwrench g-force Sport
The difference in wet dry handeling is due to the BFGs being a summer tire (sold to me in winter, but its SoCal) and the Kumhos being all season

They seem to rate quite high all around, and better dry traction then my BFGs. Grented there $30 more per tire then my BFGs for my size
