So I work at a Firestone and get a discount on stuff and have full reighn on any machine I want. I need new tires on my car. I'm thinking about Fuzion or Falken. Any thoughts or first hand experiance? BTW they will go on stock sawblades.

Ummm...only advice I can give...DON"T BUY NITTO"S!!!!

I had the NT-450's on my car, and they get bulges so easily, my steering wheel would jerk...hit a pothole, and the tread seperated...I had to get three new tires within a year.

I've done lots of research and I'm going with the Falken RT-615's. If money was no object and they had the sizes I need, I would go with the BFG KD's in a heartbeat.

*** Just be sure to get a high performance tire. The entry level Falken Ziex tires are sticky but have the most spongy sidewalls I've ever experienced. My Mk2 lost a lot of handling going with the Ziex's. My bald BFG Comp T/A's handled better than the brand new Ziex's!!!

I was going to choose the Kumhos as well until I heard they squeal on hard cornering more than the Falkens do. Don't know for sure but that's what I've heard. I like the idea of ripping through corners hard without attracting unwanted attention.

I think im going with the Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires. They are right up there with the KDW's and they are half the price. I can't complain.

Thats what I have. 235/60s on sawblades in the back. I love them. If you want your car to do 360's around a corner, get falkens. Our cars are too powerful for them if you dont know how to handle properly.
