My local Firestone has 4 215/35/zr18 on clearance for $43 each.Price is dirt cheap.Anything to expect that is bad about fusion?For the price i can't go wrong either way.

I have HRi tires on my S13 and they are alright for daily driving. They are made by Bridgestone so they aren't a cheap tire, just cheaper than bridgestone lol.

Hahahahaha

Hahahahahaha

I bought a set for even less than that (employee pricing)

I kept them for less than 6 months. They were okay for a few weeks, then became very noisy, they had a nasty tendency towards radial pulling.

They had comperable grip when I first got them, but shortly after that they seemed to harden like tinker toys. It was like driving on plastic. The traction brake was far from linear, and the way the tires felt made me uneasy at the limit. I ended up pulling them and getting something else. I tried to sell them cheap, but no one bit.

Make sure to check the DOTs on the tires, IIRC the ZRIs have been out of production for at least 2 years.

The guy at firestone said they were discontinued.From the fusion site it appears they don't make that size anymore.I only put about 750 miles a year on my 240 anymore so i am sure they will last a few years at least. I wouldn't even consider these if i drove it more often.I'll buy some better tires later down the road when the plastic is paid off.I'll know not to expect much out of them performance wise.I run 225/40/18 in the back so i may pick the other 2 they have up for a spare set.
