It's just a and b. A TT Z will blow the tires off at will. Throttle control can quite literally save your life. Hell, didn't some other guy just wad up a boosted Z because he didn't respect the right pedal? These cars are a lot of fun with 500whp, but respect the power AT ALL TIMES or leave the road backwards.

100%

i had mine accidentally kick out a bit with just 325whp and 305 RE-11 last week when there was a bit of water in an uphill turn lol

but 7 years with the car i know it very well and control it.

C. is about the last thing you should care about. Z people need to stop chasing the widest tire they can fit and focus more about how sticky the tire is. A 255mm drag radial will be a hell of a lot better than a 305mm Pilot sport.

THIS! Stop worshiping those damn pilot super sports. They're really not THAT good, just okay. Look at the Toyo R888R or Nitto NT01 if you want something that holds traction better in dry weather and still can handle well. Hell, even the Bridgestone RE-71R is fantastic and still keeps 200 treadwear (okay, barely, and just on paper). Drag radials if you're that desperate for traction, but don't expect them to handle turns all too well. Compound > tire size

PSS are a lot better on the street for every day driving then drag radials. Like you said. They don't handle turns too well. This will get him killed. R Comp tires NEED heat in them to work properly. You would have to drive at least at 80% level to keep some heat in them. All you are doing is heat cycling the tire too much on the street. Too much cycling and the tires become hard. R Comp tires don't work well in the rain either.
