The SZ50EP's are a top notch tire for the 245/50-16 size, along with the Goddyear F1 GSD3. These are a direct cousin of the SZ50 and are half the price. Look very interesting.

Now that the SZ50's are going away I need a new tire to replace them. I was checking out the specs between the Fuzions, RE750s, and the SZ50s all made by the same company under different brands.

The Bridestone RE750s and Firestone Firehawk SZ50 have a traction rating of AA and treadware of 340 where the Fuzion ZRi have an A and 320 but are half the price.

Anyone have experience compareing these tires?
