I am not joking when I say this. It was easier for me to get my Prius sideways last year than the Z. With the new tires, the car drives more like a Miata than a Corvette. For those who owned a C6, you will know they tend to plow unless you force the issue with the gas pedal. THat's what the car felt like last year.

Not sure if they help, but I just took these pictures

Cossie,

I gotta say man your knowledge with the tires based on your exp. is good to go man. From all the information you have displayed you helped me make my decision on 265F/285R RE-11s on my 19" Rays. I do the drag strip once and a while but it's mostly my dd when I am in country. You get some rep. from me bud
