    i would not go with the fusions they were on a friends focus and didnt grip for shit. i personally have some falken 615 and in dry traction you cant get much better

    there's diff fuzions, hri=all season bleh zri=all season performance, they're actually good tires for the price... but rt615 for best bang for the buck... ftw
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    Azenis are great tires I haven't personally run the new ones but a friend of mine does, we run BFG Gforce KDW2's on one of our miatas and the other Solo car is soon to follow. The BFG's give nearly the same traction as the Azenis but last a good bit longer, but they do cost more too. The fuzions are great for a DD performance tire since they do give decent traction and long wear for the money, but not the best autox tire by any means.

    pretty much any decent tire will help you immensely over stock all season tires. the two affordable options if you're really wanting auto-x tires that stick:

    -Azenis RT615: sticky tire with good stiff sidewall, makes for great auto-x tire but with an 8/32" tread depth and 200 treadwear they will wear out relatively quick. 195/60-14 is $64 each, not sure if that's the exact size you'd run but a guess.

    -Hankook Ventus RS2: another tire that's designed with auto-x in mind. right around the same idea as the RT 615 but with a 9/32" tread depth and 200 treadwear. 195/60-14 is $61 each.

    (prices found at edgeracing.com, they tend to have the lowest prices on tires i've found)

    I've run the Azenis in the past and so far the Hankook Ventus Rs2 Z212
    are noticably better IMO.
