Advice needed... search for new tires

ive had nittos in the past i forget which model numbers they were but they were both summer tires and were suppose to be their best sets. nitto's problem was they break free with no prior warning when you reach the limits of the tire.

most performance tires will send feedback through steering and throttle and tell you it's approaching the limit. but nitto was like on/off. no gradual warning.

For what it's worth the Michelins are made in several plants here in the US.

Since the Z is a sports car price isn't a factor.

Michelin for me.

Dude that is scary. Some of us like to test the limits but you make it sound like its more of a sharp drop off a cliff.
