Anything over 1k tire life means you’re not having enough fun.

Aside from the brand, I also look at the treadwear rating, which IMO, also makes a huge difference.

A tire with great treadwear rating will mean it's not as sticky...

what are these ratings you all speak of?? I buy tires based on how cool the tread pattern looks, and always park with the wheel full left or right so all can admire ! lol

That’s why you always have another extra set of rims with track tires specifically for track use.

The thing about the Z is, it is a rear wheel drive car. Since that is how the drive train is set up, it will eat those tires in the rear faster, but I know you already knew that!

The Z, with the proper alignment, won't eat through tires, it will nibble at them slowly, that is, if you drive calm and collected. If you drive hard, it will eat through the tires. For me, I don't feel like spending Michelin Super Sport/Conti DW/Bridgestone RE/S0 series type of money for my tires. Do not get me wrong those tires are THE BEST (Michellin Super Sports) You will get decent use out of them 20-30k miles at best. I drive my car for the spring and summer only, so tires last longer than usual for me.

I use Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks (Re branded Bridgestone RE-003 for N.A market). The tire meets my daily driving needs easily and when I go to back roads that have sharp turns etc the tires are more than willing to keep me on the road. I have never pushed them to the limit, however I do not track or autocross my car.

There's been a lot of discussion already here, check the wheels section if anything. Hope you find what you are looking for bud. Cheers.

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on my '09 Z and even with spirited driving, they lasted a very long time, and beyond the 30k mark. Also, my '09 was an auto and I did have a heavy foot.

The UTQG tire rating will provide a good indication on the life of the tire, through your driving habits can impact the life of the tire.

Another thing to keep in mind is what your intentions are (i.e. daily driving vs tracking). DD tires are not good for tracking and vice versa, IMO.

I agree on all accounts. If I tracked I would have a separate set of both rims and tires. If you are going to DD on a set of tires, they should not be used on the track, that's how I see it anyways.
