interesting. from personal experience, the Fuzion ZRi felt EXACTLY like the high dollar RE-01R on the track, but was about a half second slower per lap for me. the RE-01R was a 1G tire; i ran around .94G with the Fuzion..



i should also add that the RE-01R lasted a good while. i really didn't like the feel of it for the price; it was a little soft. this is odd, because it was the stiffest tire i have ever mounted. VERY hard to get it on the rim. for medium priced tires, i like the BFG KDW2. VERY precise feel, good grip, GREAT in the wet, and reasonable wear.
