I am confused - does not take much.
« on: May 23, 2005, 02:26:43 pm »
I just had four new tires installed at a dealer who comes highly recommended.

The invoice states:
225/40ZR18 Bridgestone UHP
Fuzion ZR1
#027787 (Ed112321)

The sidewall indicates: 225/40R18 88W
and in another place on the sidewall : Fuzion ZR1

I am unable to find Bridgestone list a tire with that name.

I asked whether the tire is a highperformance tire, and was told it was.  Is it ?

The Fuzion line is built by Bridgestone, but is not a Bridgestone branded tire. It is a high performance tire and offers quite good performance for the price. However, it should be sold as a Fuzion not a Bridgestone. Dont worry you got a good tire even though it was under misleading circumstances.
