Recommend me some summer tires.
Or how about the Toyo Proxies? Tire Rack has the review section for the Fuzion but not the Toyo's. Anyway let me hear what is working for you.

Question...the stock summer tires that come with the Crossfire are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. I don't have them though because I got the stock all-season Continental tire. Are those the sports you have, and if so, what do you think of them? I was contemplating getting a set for regular driving and saving this set for winter before the tread is gone and I have to replace them anyway.

I have the regular Pilot sports. I am not to impressed with them. I drive like a grand mom and i got 23,000 mile out of them. Thier tread wear is like 200 which a soft compound so that explains it. I know i can get a tire with just as much performance if not better for less money. No way im going to pay $800 for tires.

i have the toyo proxes 4. they're a very nice tire. they hook really well, so well that i can't do a standing burn out anymore, they just drag me down the street now. they're good in the rain too. very little road noise as well. the one thing i will say is that they have a very soft side wall so i found that i had to raise the pressure in them to keep even tread wear.

Because of the tread pattern they'll chunk like crazy if you really get into them (auto-x). I was warned about this from a guy in a camaro that said they "shread" very easily. I figured it had to be different because of the size of his car. I was wrong. They shine in the rain though, I'll give them that. Also, you can't really hope to find a great "summer" tire and expect good tread life. If it's good in the summer it'll have to be soft.

actually the BFGoodrich G Force KDW2's have great ratings.Those are what I went with. I don't drive my car in the rain, never in snow. All out summer tire is what I was looking for.

Kumho MX is a good affordable summer tire
Yokohama AVS ES100 is pretty good and pretty cheap Falken Azenis rule on dry pavement and are pretty cheap but but arent very good in the rain and they will wear faster than most tires Bridgestone S-03s rule all the time but they are a bit more expensive if you have a set of wheels/tires you can use in the winter, definitley get dedicated summer tires... you'll love them :D bryan

Seriously, rubbish. Azenis are good in the rain, and if you dont believe me then I'd love to compare autox times on a rainy day.

Honestly, My Hanncook Venturas have been good to me. Rain, dry, summer, winter, even snow when I didn't get my rims off in time. Only problem is fairly soft sidewall and they are slightly loud/rough. But they handle well and adapt nicely to the elements. I'm sure there is better but they are fairly inexpensive.

I have almost 21,000 miles on my azenis and they have plenty of meat left They are ok in the rain as long as you don't try to drive threw a big ass puddle at high speeds. Chris drove for like 45k or something crazy on them.

blaise i am regurgitating information that i have read at least a dozen times. i dont believe everything the first time i see it but when there is an overwhelming opinion then yes i believe it. look at the tread on those things anyways, nowhere to flush the water out. sowwy but azenis < sliced bread

Seriously, the reason most people say that is beacuse they drive through deep puddles in their near-bald azenis and expect them to grip. Given equal treaddepth, they're not much worse (IMO) than s03s and the like. I remember a few years back when solo2 nationals was rainy every day.. guess what tire carried 8 of the top ten spots? Hint, they weren't s03s...
