I replaced my noisy stock tires with Continental Pro Contact (I think that's the correct wording) and accomplished my mission of a quieter and somewhat less harsh ride. That was my priority, not performance, cornering, etc. Your priority is more in handling, etc. Nevertheless, for what it's worth, I'm thrilled with the Continentals and now enjoy driving my Z more than ever.

Agreed. Since I'm likely not going to replace my front tires yet, think I'll stick with the Potenza's for now.

It'll be VERY hard to get tires that last longer than 20k miles on the rears... (The people that get 30k out of the rears shouldn't own a sports car)
Hey, I've got 22k on my NIMSO and while I've got tires on order could probably stretch it another 5k miles if I wanted to. I definitely don't take it easy on the car either and that includes 2 auto-x sessions.
