Just a few of my thoughts ...

1. It is well established (at least on this forum) that the S04 run narrow, and you should go up a size (this will keep the tire diameter closer to OEM diameter).

2. 90 degrees? Probably a little hyperbole there. Plus, you should be able to light up just about any tire going WOT in 1st gear in the Z

3. I seriously doubt that the acceleration is mild if you're leaving 11s on the asphalt

4. You are comparing all seasons vs max performance. Of course the wet traction isn't going to be as good
The Michelin might be all seasons but it performed better in both DRY and wet. I pulled the fastest stock Z 1/4 mile time on this forum with those. After warming up, the "all seasons" does not chirp nor spin out WOT off the line. Do some research and watch a few comparison videos and you would see the A/S 3 should be categorized in a higher class based on their performance.
I'm actually running the largest size so4 they manufacture btw

This review is obviously based on my own experience, and there will always be diehard fans saying otherwise. I actually bought the tires becuase the high praises, But I can't wait to replace those for my stock Z
