I would not put those tires on a Z, and I doubt that any of those reviews are compared to the typical tires that people put on the Z. Frankly, I don't think all seasons belong on a Z at all. Snow tires for winter and performance tires for the rest of the year.

I agree that having a set of winter tires and a set of summer tires is optimal or even having a winter car but sometimes the expense can be a factor. Here is a link to one of Tire Rack's video tests.

It's a good value tire that can still perform in 4 seasons.

Like I said, that comparison is not against any of the typical tires you see people use on the Z. Those tires are all value-based. And none of them is good enough for the Z. You might as well get rid of the car if you're putting such crappy tires on it
