Gearworks now has Bridgestone Fuzion Tires: The Fuzion™ ZRi, a tire designed specifically for the enthusiast and tuner markets, is being introduced by Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show . The Fuzion ZRi, a new brand of tire from BFNT that addresses this fastest growing segment in the performance tire market, will be available to retail customers in spring 2004.
The new W- V- and H-speed rated ZRi features a directional tread pattern for great looks and optimum handling. The tire launch will be backed with a major marketing initiative, including a new Web site, www.thefuzionzone.com, complete with an exciting interactive on-line racing game
The tire, which is engineered with the company’s exclusive UNI-T® technology, will be available in more than 30, 16- to 20-inch, 30- to 60-series sizes. UNI-T is an acronym for “Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology” found only in Bridgestone, Firestone, Dayton and select associate brand tires. One of its core technologies is a Computer Optimized Component System, CO•CS®, which uses a super computer to help determine an ideal combination of tread design, casing shape, materials and construction for a particular application.
Fuzion™ ZRi
Hit the streets on a set of Fuzion ZRi tires and, from the get-go, you’ll know that Fuzion was designed to perform. Thanks to UNI-T® technology, the directional tread pattern and other advanced technologies, this W-, V- and H-Speed rated tire puts you in charge of the road, whether it’s wet or dry. Even better, it’s priced affordably—in more than thirty 16–20-inch, 30–60 Series sizes. How cool is that!
UNI-T® Technology. UNI-T stands for the Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology, a combination of technologies that improves three primary factors of a tire’s performance: the casing, the bead, and the tread.
Innovative Tire Design • A Comprehensive Tire Design Method This method improves handling in wet or dry conditions and reduces irregular treadwear by combining the ideal tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
