Oh k guys i just found out my yokohoma that i have been driving on for a year and a half is down to the metal wires and all four tires or bold and i need new tires...but i m curious which of these tires would do the best for a turbo Tc right now i m kinda broke to so yea it was down to cheapest tire i could get my hand on but i also want something that will last longer then the potenza and yokohoma that came with our car....please tell me which is better or anyone wiht these tires and wats the wear on the nitto if they wear out in a year or do they last pretty long...cause i planning not to pill out on my car any more maybe once in while but yea no more aggresive driving for me i learned my lesson lolz...

 

Im not really liking either of them but, I say get the Nitto ones....The thread design on the Fuzion's suck....If i were you i would get the bridgestones g-force kdw tires.....but i know that money is a factor, so i say go with Nitto

 

I have Neo Gen's...I love the tread design, and they're not too bad on price....you get what you pay for!!

 

Of those two choices, I'd go with Nitto.

 

^ditto^...again!

 

I have the Nitto's -- plenty of grip for "spirited" driving

 

cool i planning get the nitto cause of the name and the tread design thanks guys

 

um. toyo proxes 4 will kick the nitto's @ss any day. dry, rain, and snow. follow that up with kuhmo asx's if you wanna go budget. the zri's should never have been under consideration...they just suck. the neogens are alright, but there's better for the money. check out avon tech m550 a/s, pirelli pzero nero m&s, BFg kdw's. my top 2 choices would be the proxes followed by the avon tech's. then the pirellis, then kuhmo, then BFg, then neo gen. there's better for the money dude. pm me if you need more help...i'm kind of a tire guru.

 

o also, i have BFg kdw's myself......i made the mistake of buying the tire based off the tread design. i should've gone with the proxes 4's....that was my other option and its a mistake i deeply regret now. the kdw's have absolutely zero traction in the snow, and they still slide a tiny bit in the rain. but i can tell you a year down the road....it doesnt matter what the tread looks like....cause nobody's gonna see it. i dont even look at it anymore and i havent for 9 months now. stupidest thing i've done to the car so far. get the proxes, even if you gotta dish out an extra 100 or so. you'll thank yourself later on.

 

If cost is a factor, maybe you can consider Federal SS595, it's a good tire.

Out of the two tires, definetly get the Nitto. I have heard some pretty bad things about the Fuzion.

 

ah forgive me...forgot to add one in there....general exclaim UHP. also a budget tire....71 bucks a piece from tirerack

 

thanks for the post man you help me out on my tire decision but over here the two tires that i found that where cheapest was the nitto and fuzion and the tire guys at T.O HAAS said that best one would be the fuzion for that money so yea but thanks for the advise i'll do more looking around before i get my tires.

 

wow the fuzion is definitely not better than the neo gen. im shocked they told you that. remember, the only thing connecting you to the ground when you're driving are your tires! dont skimp on them, and trust the ratings.....head over to tirerack and check out the surveys. the fuzions suck...you'll see it there man.

 

Maybe they told you that because their profit margin is greater on the fuzion. That's being dishonest with you, the customer, but it's also a very common business practice.

 

wellz guys thanks i made my decision i got the nitto gen. and they are way better then those stock yoko. omg..i guess i road the yoko to the metal literaly cause i had a few metal patches on my tire and i found out i need to get my car realigned because of my tein stech should of done that awhile back now i regret it..but yea thanks alot for you inputs guys...

 

also looking to get new tires, and the guy at Monro quoted me for the Fuzion HRi's he recommended.... so from the sounds of it you guys would definitely go with the nitto's? would just like a little reassuring

 

Sorry, there are WAAYYY better tires for that kind of money.

General Exclaim UHP - Runs $92 or less per tire in the 17-inch sizes.

Kumho Ecsta SPT -- About the same

Fuzion ZRi -- Better performance than HRi, same price. I had these for quite a while, and they were pretty good. Not amazing, but quite good.

Sumitomo HTR Z III --- same price, but the best performing tire on this list. I would have gone with these, but I decided to drop more cash on some SERIOUS tires... well, well worth it.


----- There are others, just ask me. But as a final piece of advice... And I'm sure the Mods are going to hate me, but I really want to get a message across...



DO

NOT

SKIMP

ON

TIRES.

 

I'm looking for all-seasons.. I live in Buffalo NY and have ONE MORE WINTER left, so that's something to consider. I don't need the best snow traction but something to get me through this last winter safely, cuz I'm headed to Atlanta by summertime. I'd like to get more than 20k mile life

Considering I may trade my car in in the next year, what would you recommend? (cost-effective)

 

If you must go all-season... (prices based on stock 215/45-17 size)

Goodyear Eagle F1 All-season. $114 each. (Best performance)
Yoko - AVID W4S - $98 each. (Best bang-for-buck)
BFG - gForce SS A/S - $115 each (Compare to goodyear)

The HRi would be fine as well.


I could recommend others that are better, but I'm sticking as close to the $100/tire range as I can. You may want to consider other reviews before purchase, since I don't buy all seasons usually.

I really don't see anything much cheaper that I'd trust my life to.

 

Save up some more money and get some Toyo Proxes.
