I love mine. They performed better at Autocross than my old S-02's... but that was because mine were slick and bald. They DO Have more flex, a softer sidewall... softer center tread too. The tires are more predictable, and still have excellent dry grip, as well as wet grip.

Got mine for $420 installed, couldn't be happier

I know a sales guy at Firestone and he can get those Fusion tires cheap. They are comparable to the S02's. I don't know how well they perform but you can't beat the price.

I got a new set of 4 Fuzions in July based in large part on Jim's recommendation. He notes that the Fuzions are based on the same Uni-T technology as the RE 750 but for a much lower price. I got mine balanced and installed for just under $400 (including tax, disposal fees, etc) at Big-O Tires. Comparing them to the SO2s that came on my 2002 S2k, the dry traction is not quite as good, especially at higher speeds (over 50 mph). They are a softer tire, with a little more "give" in them than the SO2. But they are also a lot quieter than stock. And they should last (I hope) at least twice as long. Wet traction is excellent, much better than stock. I'd recommend them.

Isn't this the tire that West Coast Customs is always pimpin' on "Pimp my ride" I could swear they put them on the Olds Cutlass.

That is a good question. I have es-100's on stock rims and I am looking for something a bit better.
