Default Fuzion ZRi

I have searched the forum and found plenty of good reviews and information about th Fuzion ZRi for the S2000. However I can't seem to find which size I need exactly for an AP2. I know that the OEM RE050 is sized differently then most tires so I am trying to find the exact size that I need. If anyone could confirm what would provide similar width and speedo reading to OEM it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You won't go wrong with:
215/45-17, 245/40-17
215/45-17, 255/40-17
225/45-17, 255/40-17

Don't get too hung up on published tread width data, it ain't that big a deal. That said, generally option 2 above will give stagger closer to OEM.

its not a great tire. i had them on my ap1 when i bought it. great in rain and treadwear, but not very grippy. theyre cheap too. so if you daily drive your car and dont care about performance, then go for it. if you want a little more performance out of your tire while still maintaing drivability in the rain and very good tread life, then i suggest the sumitomo htr-z III. similar prices, but its a better tire.

I had the Fuzion ZRI on my 98 Honda Prelude and they were not that bad. I had them on my 02 S2K and I am not a fan. I now have Potenza RE-01 and they rock, night and day difference.

If I were to buy a tire I would not go with the ZRI.

I am gonna agree with the previous two posters on this.

I have had those on stock AP1s for nearly 5 years, just trying to keep it cheap...sacrificing grip. Got a set of AP2V2s and will be going 225 up front, 255 in the rear....Dunlop Direzza Star Specs...grip is entirely underrated by some folks...and I was one of them!

The two above are comparing cheap tires, to not cheap tires.

Bang for buck sumitomo hrtzIII's off tirerack. You'll spent $400 and they're superb tires (ranked higher on the track then the re050's too).
