I was really tempted to go with them on stock sizes, but I definitely prefer a wider rear tire. If they came in 285's I would go with them.
Basically it looks like Dunlops are overall excellent -- but narrower widths available than desired for me.
RE-11's excellent dry and wet, but not the absolute best on either.
BFG's, kinda suck on wet, but seem to fare generally better than the others on dry, come in sizes I want (and, curiously, have lower rolling resistance, so that means slightly better gas mileage) -- and I kind of wanted to try something new.
Compare and contrast here, BFG vs RE-11 vs Dunlop's:

They are within $6 from the RE-11's, so I think I'll try them out and see what I think. I kind of expect to like them more than the RE-11's except when it rains, but we'll see.
I went through this sort of back-and-forth between the Falken Azenis/RT-615 and the Kumho Ecstas/MX's on my old SC'd Celica -- sadly neither come in sizes I can use on the Z.
I considered Advan's too, but too expensive for sizes I want.
Thanks again, folks, for all the input!
