I have the Fuzions on 2 of my vehicles and am very happy with them.

The first set of tires I had on the xB were Kuhmo 711s, and when I took them off at about 20k miles, they still had at least half tread on them. The S-03s were on the Matrix.

I have Kumho 712's on my tC. I dont like them at all. I had them on my porsche and they were awesome. But on the tC they have horrible traction. With the supercharger they spin constantly. And I do not drive it to hard. These things wont last long. But they were cheap.

Tell us how you like the bridgestones

Hey squirrel, How did those 711's ride? Loud? I just got a set but won't be able to road test them for a couple months.

Too many variables to give an honest answer on why they wore out so soon.
Sorry dude
