In fact, in the Road and Track I just got they did a comparison by switching out a couple of different brands of Dunlop's -- one set stock size one set a bit wider (225) with 18" wheels. Their skidpad test went from .89g stock to around .94 - .96.

At low speed (low rpm as well), the Z does feel a bit "heavy". My sense is the 86 would feel "faster" when accelerating cuz it's light. For some reason (I know it's actually fast), the Z doesn't really give me that "busting out" kinda feel even when I push it hard. Even my mom's VW Tiguan "feels" faster. Maybe cuz the grip and weight of the Z that make it more steady.
