My Z is a low mileage fun car not a daily driver. Oil changes are a bit expensive. If you buy OEM spec Bridgestone tires, yes, tires will be expensive

My Z is a low mileage fun car not a daily driver. Oil changes are a bit expensive. If you buy OEM spec Bridgestone tires, yes, tires will be expensive too. Other quality tires are available for a lot less.
Ultra high performance cars (the Z squeaks into that classification) also depend on premium tires to deliver ultra high performance. Have you priced the tires on a Corvette Grand Sport, Z06 or ZR1? Our tires look cheap by comparison. Interesting point of reference: The iconic mid eighties flat twelve Ferrari Testarossa Supercar did the 1/4 mile in the mid 13s, just like a 370Z, but it can't hang with the Z in braking or cornering and don't even ask about gas mileage. The Z is a fantastic performance bargain but it does cost more to operate than a generic car.
