Not at all if you drive the car hard and are in a climate that doesn't see much rain or snow.

I switch between winter and summer tires, so these will be my selection for my summer tires for the foreseeable future since they were the best I have used so far. They seemed to last longer than the stock Yokohamas (NISMO) and not nearly as fragile.

stock tires on the Z rarely last long. the stock tires on mine were only 140 treadwear rated when you can go on tire rack and get the exact tires but with a 280 rating.

its to get you to come back to Nissan for service and tires.

I have heard it's also just a "cheaper" tire for them to put on the car at the factory to save cost. I don't know if that's true or not but that's what I've heard.
