The price may be tempting, but tires are a huge part of how your car behaves. They are what connects you to the road after all. A bad tire choice could turn your 370Z from a great handler to a rusty old Buick LeSabre if you aren't careful.

The SP Sport Signature is not a bad tire, but you will give up dry performance over your stock Advans. It's not really fit for a car like the Z, IMO.

What is your budget?

There are a number of nice summer tire options I see on Tire Rack for the base wheels that aren't too expensive, but will perform as well or better than the Advans...

You can get Michelin Pilot Super Sports for just under $900 now, and Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-04s for just under $800. The stock Advans run $1150 and I think both of these options are better. They are definitely better than the Dunlop SP Sport Signatures from a performance car in Florida standpoint.
