last weekend, i was shopping for new tires for the Nova to replace the old dry rotted Eagle GT+4's i got with the GTA rims last year.
Tires Plus had a new brand of tire aimed squarely at the "tuner" crowd- called "Fuzion" and made by Bridgestone- they are Potenza's with a cool tread and a misspelled name.
anyways, my size (245/50/16) was only $90 a piece, so i got 4 of them and got them mounted. in the meantime, the carb and ignition in the car went to crap, so i haven't been able to drive on them at all until today- and all i can say is WOW. those suckers are nice. the car just flat out hooks on full throttle acceleration (haven't tried the 6000 rpm smoke show yet- just 3000 and side step the clutch type of thing), rides smooth (my cousin- who mounted and balanced them for me- said they were some of the roundest and most easily blanced new tires he's seen in a while) and corner nice. haven't driven them in the wet yet, but they are rated pretty good for rain, and have a "v" shaped uni-directional tread. head to www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com) and read some of the reviews.
so, in summary, if you want good, cheap tires in sizes from 15"-20", get the Fuzions.
