What about Fuzion HR-i's?

Don't know about the HR-I's frankly - - but you're going to have to face one fact early on in your decision making process ... which is:
If you want to get decent mileage out of the tire (and this is directed at the accountant in you) - you must by virtue of definition give up a certain amount of grip and handling - and especially if you are going all-seasons as opposed to summer only.
It really doesn't matter how inexpensive a tire is to purchase, if you can't use it in the winter, or it doesn't last more than say 10,000 clicks (as an example).
The treadwear rating of the Azenis is 200, which is pretty low for a street tire, and it is definitely not a cold weather tire.
I think it would help us help you better if you could more clearly define what your decision making factors are in terms of usage and budget.
