Kumho ECSTA SPT's or Fuzion ZRi?
I'm looking for some tires that will have (most importantly) very good tread life, but good performing as well. I noticed these two tires were around the same price. Does anyone know the main diffrence between the two? Anyone know some advantages/disadvanteges to each tire? Please let me know, my tires are bald. Thanks for any help.

I don't think anyone tested back to back SPT and ZRi on the same S2000 under the same conditions to have definite conclusion that one is better than another on dry or wet roads. But it seems that people who had SPT likes it more than the ones with ZRi, and SPT is $44 cheaper than ZRi for a set of 4 in sizes 205/55-16 and 225/50-16.
Avon Tech M500 is a good choice too, for only $18 more than ZRi set.

i have the ZRi and personally i think they are crap. The tires do not grip that well and it is easy to slide out the rear. It is soso in the rain.
on a positive note the tires don't screetch and have a good amount of tread. Also, it has a lip to protect your rims from scratching.
I'm gonna be running Kumho MX pretty soon

Thanks for the replys.
It looks like i'll be getting kumho's. Seems like some good tires for the price. I'm thinking the SPT's will be my choice. Does anyone know the big diffrence between SPT's and MX's. Only reason i'm thinking SPT's at this time is cause i heard they have about twice the tread life of the MX without too much of a diffrence in perfomance. But at the same time kumhos are pretty cheap so i wouldn't mind having the MX's which seem to be centered more around performance rather then tread life. hmmm
