Fuzion ZR1...using them for 4 years now.

That being said, this will be the last set as you cannot get the ZR1 anymore since Bridgestone has stopped supplying the US market. I needed 2 tires and had to search the US for each.

I spoke to them a few times and no one there that I had talked to is able to come up with a solid answer as to what is actually happening with the ZR1. You can get the other models, but not these.

I have the Toyo Proxy's on my truck and they are a very nice tire as well. I'd buy these as they are inexpensive like the Fuzion...and you just won't find the Fuzions ZR1's anymore.

Good Luck!

Thread resurrection

This is the only one that came up for my search, but it's good because people have had more time to use these tires.

I'm running 225/50/16 front, 245/45/16 rear. The tire choices I've found around here (Eastern Canada) are the Fusion ZR1 and Toyo T1R. Doesn't seem to be any availability issues at this time.

My question, has anyone used both of these tires and do you have a preference? The S02's on mine are weather checked badly and need replacement. Thanks!

Just discovered that the Fuzions are on closeout at Tire Rack. Not sure what that means or whether there is a plan to replace the ZRi in the 245/45/16 size, but I believe this and the Toyo are the only non-R compound tires available.

This may be a get 'em while you can situation.

I have Toyo on the 87. I am very happy with them. Lots of road handling without any barking back.
Longitudanal ruts are a non-concern.
One thing though is when you are driving it sounds exactly like you are in a passenger jet aircraft.
-They are expensive here!
