Question Anybody heard of Primewell PZ900 tires?

I was searching the Firestone web site to see what they had in a 255/50R17, which is what I want to put on my stock 17's. The only tire they list in that size is a Primewell PZ900. The price seems pretty reasonable - $130 each.

Has anyone had any experience with these tires?

I do tire spec searches somewhat frequently and I've never heard of them.

I realize this is an older thread, but as it was the only thing that came up under a search for Primewell, I will leave an answer here:
"Primewell is a cheap, bargain-basement entry-level tire imported from China. Durable and safe enough but in no way is it a great tire. Primewell is a tire aimed at people who only see value as a dollar sign, not what you are getting for that dollar."
I took this off of Yahoo Answers, but it is basically what I have found elsewhere on this brand too. I just put a set of the PZ900 in 245/45/17 on my 04GT, so I will be sure to keep an ongoing review on here, but will put it in the Tire section if you want to check back there later.

I followed up also. Sounds like it's a renamed Fuzion tire. Good for a daily beater but not anything you'd want on a Stang for performance. It's a cheap tire for people with shallow pockets and brains.
