No...no they are not. A tire with a tread wear rating of 360-480 is no where near the Ultra High Performance category.

You bought a nice high performance sports car please treat it as such and put the proper tires on it.

RE-11's, PSS, PS2's, are some of the best street tires and the RE-11's aren't expensive at all and are amazing! (they (RE-11) are in the Ultra High Performance category)

I'm finding them at a wear of 200 , and Z rated with 19" tire. 275/35/zr19..........at discount tire direct...... I appreciate all the input, but I would really like to hear from someone with first hand knowledge of the tires, if there is anyone out there....................

Well, I went with the Nankang Ns2's on my tire guys recommendation...
Ultra HP Z rated tires under $200 each.
I have about 1000 miles on them thus far, and can honestly say I see no difference in handling from the stock potenzas, and I have pushed them hard to try to find a shortcoming.....
They are much quieter than the potenzas as well.
The biggest difference I can see is in the amount of tread between the 2 tires. The potenzas come new with 7/32 tread, the Nankangs are at 17/32...Quite a difference.. Time will tell as far as mileage is concerned, but I certainly hope they do better than the stock tires.
