I wouldn't know. I can't hear any road noise over the exhaust

The biggest problem with them is they are old. I bought them from Hotrodz a number of years ago. Maybe 3 now? And I'm pretty sure they were already several years old. I'm actually hesitant to take them out and toast the rest of the tread due to their age. Rather they not fail catastrophically on me - I've had tires delaminate on the Z before.

Don't get too crazy with old tires. About 10 seconds before this, I said, "I think I need new tires." (hydroplaned)

I ordered new tires yesterday. This morning I was driving back from San Marcos and found myself in a 360 on IH-35 at about 55 mph when both RH wheels caught some standing water. Thankfully there was no one around me and no impact - went from the middle lane and recovered in the right lane. First time that's happened on a public road

Yup. The recovery was a little messy but not horrible.

For the Nismo rims I drive on the street, I got some Continental Extreme Contact Sport 255/35/19 and 305/30/19.

Maybe with some more experience that could have been fun. Instead I pulled over to regain my composure and change my shorts

Very similar to what happened to me. I was probably running 65 or more. During rush hour with all kinds of cars around me. 360 with a semi truck beside me, then went over an embankment and ended up where the picture shows.
I was standing a good distance from the road when I took that picture.
Thankfully, I didn't do a massive amount of damage. Enough, but nothing like it could have been. Needed to get a new pair of grundies!

Never did see a picture. Tried the direct link from your post. Then tried looking up the photo album. Perhaps it is set to private? Because I couldn't find any albums in your profile page.

Got the Z1 long tube intake installed today. It was missing a part on each side but, thankfully, the shop had some tubing hose, and clamps, they could use.
