You get what you pay for and the Pilot Super Sports are worth very dollar. They are the best all-around tires I have ever used on any of my Z's or other cars/trucks by far.

Here you go. This is right after swift spring installation. I also run 15 mm spacers fore and aft.

I have Swifts and 15/20mm spacers so I want the wheels flush. I don't track or drive 'super' aggressive, so others that have gone this way say there is no problem with response etc....

The only concern for me is the 305 on the rear which is out of spec. I know lots of people run without problems but I like to stay within manufacturer spec.
