I've been running HTRZ III's since August or so, a very good tire for the money, but not RE 050A PP's by any means. I'll probably buy them again for my commuter tires. I wish the Dunlop Star Spec's didn't wear so fast or I'd run them as dailys.

i had those tires with my civic a few years back, they were a great soft compound tire. the only prob is the Z rated tire had a really low tread wear rating good sticky tire though

i'm on my second set of fuzion's.. 245 45 16's on the rear... drove the dragon quite often during that time i was staying up there... but i have to say i am known for not driving my car as hard as i have seen others drive theirs...
I too am running Fuzion's..........I have found them to be quite good for having a good treadwear rating. I found that you can play with tire presurre to make them handle even better. After my 300zx, I got tired of putting $1500 a year in tires on a car, no matter how good they handle.

The Fusions are discontinued. I got a great deal on tire rack. I run 205/50/16 on the front instead of 55. I think. I got the Eagle D3's for $51 each. I don't know why I have been using that size. It was what was on the car when I bought it. The are a little shorter but they look good.
? They still have them on tire rack. I got my rears at Tires plus last fall.

I've seen too many cars at the dragon shiny side down to recommend the Fuzions. Almost every single one of them had 225 fuzion rears, and they were trying to keep up with others.

Best bang per buck tire: HRZ III.
