Fuzion Touring Tire Review
Fuzion is Bridgestone's household line of inexpensive tires. They are priced well and get the job done. With many low end tire companies, blowouts and flats are common. This is not the case with the Fuzion brand.
This Fuzion Touring tire is for coupes, sedans, minivans and small crossovers looking for a year-round tire. They are designed to give you a quiet ride and all-season traction on dry or wet roads, and in light snow. If you are going to be driving a good portion of the year in snow, I always recommend going with winter / snow tires. The Fuzion Touring tire has a silica-enhanced tread, intermediate ribs and center ribs to reduce noise and promote even wear. Four different grooves help guide water to the perimeter for wet traction, while serveral notches and sipes provide biting edges to give you traction in light snow. Prices start at $50 per tire.
The Bottom Line:
The Fuzion Touring tire is a no frills tire designed to get you from point A to point B at a reasonable price. This tire scored well for dry traction, wet traction, and steering responsiveness. Hydroplaning resistance, ice traction, noise level did not score as well. If you are looking for an inexpensive tire in this class, the Fuzion Touring is a good buy. Otherwise I would fork over the extra cash and get a set of Michelin Defender's which will cost a little bit more but will last about twice as long. |
