attn: anyone w/17's ---Fuzion tires- 225/45/17
any of you guys used these tires on your STi or 17 in. rims.?
i could care less about the speed rating.. more concerned with lateral stability and treadwear(not really)-
i'm gonna buy a set of cheap tires for "daily" driving--- these tires came up.

I dont have a STi but i have them on now and for SCCA and everyday driving, I have had no problems with them. Then again, I suck at SCCA...but everyday usage is good. Made by Bridgestone in Japan. No hydroplaning and it doesnt follow the grooves on the freeway. I'd buy them again.

how fast did you drive in the rain (not speeding of course)?
tread rating differs from manufacture to mnufacture.
hows the tire noise?

Did auto-x on those tires...I can definitely say that my current RE750s have more traction.
Anyways, rain traction was very good especially going through puddles and such. If I wasn't speeding than I would say I drove in the rain anywhere from 1-55 mph on Oahu roads
Tread Life Rating was no joke on those tires...they didn't show much wear at all.
Noise is noticeable...not crazy loud but much louder than the stock RE92s.
