Does anyone have experience with Fuzion tires? I am looking at the Fuzion XTi to replace the crappy goodyears on my wifes Commander.
They are an all-terrain tire and have cool flames on one side... :supz: and tribal bands on the other :smt109

I voted for 'em because they sound cool, but I have no experience with them, so take it with a grain of salt. Who has them for sale and is there someplace that has reviewed/tested them? Realistically, if they have decent treadwear ratings and the price is right, couldn't hurt.

I have sold several sets of them through work. They are actually owned and manufactored by Firestone, very similar tire to the Firestone Destination A/T. I think you will be happy with them. They have the same Uni-T technology as all Firestones do.

The wife's tahoe rides on them, fantastic tires. I bought them through the tire rack and saved myself about $200 bucks over any of the other jokers around. Good riding tire, very pleased. We're rockin the tribal side out.

I have no input on the quality of the tires. Keep us posted on what you end up getting. I have the fraternal twin brother to your Comander...if only DCX at the time was giving the incentives on the Comander instead of the WK's :) my Goodies are shot after 40k too...I was leaning towards the Yokhahama Geolanders based solely on reviews and test data from tirerack...But I want to know what you end up getting and why you chose them....

Thanks for the input guys. It might be a couple weeks before we get them but, I will let you know what we end up with. You'd think you could get more than 40k out of a new set of tires. IMO Goodyears should not be OE on Jeeps! I have not had a set that I've been happy with yet.

I agree the factory SRA or Fortera tire is not the greatest

Yeah, I guess that's what I was referring to. I have heard some good things about the MTR's but, that's about it.

Ok, I am back on this subject... Are you still happy with the Fuzions? I'm sure you've put a few more miles on them since Feb. I plan on going with the 245/70-17 unless I hear I shouldn't before then.

Yeah, they are great. I can't say how many miles we've put on them, but I don't see any treadwear really. Nice tires.

I have seen these do well. Have a friend here that has them on a Durnago, great in the snow and are wearing well.

Thanks guys, we are going to try 'em and we'll let you know how they are.

Well I thought I should comment on these since I did say I'd keep you updated. After a little over two years they have been wearing decent but, they have gotten louder than I would've liked. I usually don't mind a loud tire but, that's on a lifted Jeep and an MT! These could have been a little quieter. At this point I don't know if I'd replace them with the same tire.

I came back to this forum to double check when we put these tires on. We are in need of new tires again because the Fuzion's are shot. I did some figuring and however I don't know for certain the exact mileage but we put at least 85,000 miles on these tires. I was very impressed to say the least.
