I got a set of Fuzion ZRi late last year. They are good in dry, rain, autocross, drift, etc. Then I bought another set, and one of them blew within 30 miles, and another lost pressure within that same 30miles. Basically was leaving from tire shop to an event.
I guess there are some defects in manufacturing which I am so unlucky to get a couple.
TIRE RACK would not warranty them since I didn't buy their road hazard. Mind you, nothing get on the tire to cause them to blow. no nails, no leak, nothing. So much for customer service from Tire Rack.
Bridgestone/Firestone HQ called, and they point me to Firestone/Bridgestone shops, but no store manager wants to help. They all afraid.
So far I am stuck with two useless tires. Gone my $200.
They are good tires for the price, but just be careful in the first few miles. Always check pressure.

No, because when I call Bridgestone/Firestone who manufacture it, they advise me to go to the local shops to file claim, but none of the manager wants to help out.

actully bridgestone/firestone do not make them, they are just the dealers. It is an bought in brand, brough into the stores to compete in the tuner market. And for all the stores you tried, thats complete bullshit, you come to my store in Grand Rapids, MI and we wil take care of our tuners. Sorry you got stuck with the shitty stored bro. Best of luck

I purchased a pair of fuzzion zri tires and love them. I bought them because i couldnt take my bfg drag radials out for a 1600 mile road trip to the rotary revolution. They held up great, and they had good traction characteristics, even with my T78 turbo. I would definately buy these tires again. OH, they held up real well in the snow we got stuck driving through on the way home from the revolution.
