Definitely have thought of it. Other cars I've driven on less grippy tires have been super predictable at the limits and easy to drive at them because of how gradually they give out in comparison to the Z.
^ DarkJak, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Perfect example video! Love that it's Chris Harris as well so it's vettable and look at the fun he is having. A less grippy, super predictable tire. Any suggestions? (haha maybe not the space savers though )

I think the Z is one of the highest rated cars to be in an accident with based on an article I saw on Carbuzz a few months back. I wonder if people drive the relatively sticky tires on the Z to the limit and when they let go people crash.

I would never put tires on that were even moderately unsafe or drive like an *** hat. A little slip is fun. I'd actually argue all the posts about people spinning the stock tires on the Z or getting the tail loose are a bit unsafe because you have to be going pretty hard to do that.

On normal road speeds the Z's stock tires should never be breaking loose unless it's wet.
