I haven't had my tires on for long, but I'll say what I can.
They grip very well.
205/50/15s have too soft of a sidewall. I'll have to start running very high pressure in the front at auto-x to avoid rolling onto the sidewalls.
225/45/17s I haven't really pushed them a lot. The sidewall is stiffer (as should be expected with having a bit less of a sidewall) than the 205/50s.
Tires seem to wearing fairly well. Probably will not buy these again, rather I'll go with the new hankooks.

Just doing a little cross-thread promotion...

I have my Fuzion ZRi 225x45x17 mounted on ASA KA3's for sale up on eBay right now. Auction ends Sept 26, 2005. The auction is a NO RESERVE auction, so you might be able to get a steal on these ready to mount wheels. Cheap way to get some new wheels for cruising around town or thrashing on the autocross.

Would be a pretty good deal if it wouldn't cost me $579.59 in shipping charges!

I have a set of Fuzion ZRI's on my E1's (summer rims/tires). I just had them put on in April and they still have decent tread left. I've autocrossed once in them and run them hard during a few other corner turning exercises as well as a trip to the drag strip. I am overall very pleased with the wear, but i agree the sidewalls are kinda soft, no matter what the psi. They are an awesome bargain summer tire
