the long awaited fuzion tire review

sorry for the wait guys but i've very busy with my new company. On a scale from 1 to 10 i give it a 8 only becuase it makes alot of premature sqealing on the turns but i noticed a big improvement in my ride quality from my kumos and goodyear eagles and much better cornering on the canyons. and i get much less body roll too. so i HIGHLY suggest these tires for canyon and but not for autox or drag.

how can less body roll means better tire.
Usually it means less grippy tires.

Less body roll can also means stiffer side walls

i thought body roll is function of suspension not exactly tires.
Grippy tires introduce more body roll because they won't slide, thus more weight transfered.

^^^^^^^^^ agreed
it's a good "heads up" but the review isn't in depth enough to give good comparison.

Which Kumhos? Goodyear Eagle what?
How do the Fuzions do in the rain?
Ride comfort?
Road noise?
Tread wear?
Bang for the buck?

It's hard to be impressed when you say the tires handle better than the absolute POS tires you had on the car before the Fuzions.....
