My car had Fuzion Zri's on when i bought it. I went t\with the Hri's for the Winter here in NH .The one day i did drive it over the roads in heavy unplowed snow it was no fun, starting from a stop was next to impossible but they're great on wet or dry pavement. I regualrly try to breka traction rounding highway on and offramps to learn that point better and really have to gun it in a low gear while cutting hard to break and it grabs preety quick thereafter so i judge them to be a safe tire. If i need tires before midsummer I'll go with the Zri's again.
