Where is the best place to buy price/performance rear tires for stock 2006 350z base model?

The car is completely stock: I believe this is the Tire Size 245/45-18:

Currently the car has:
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 245/45R18 96W

These tires haven't bothered me. Car is casually driven about 20 miles, twice a week just to work and back. No racing or spinning tires at stop lights anymore.

Thanks!!!

Tire rack /thread

I'd stick with the same tire you have now. Still a great performer and its best to keep them same brand/model front/rear for most predictable handling.

Thank you for the replies. I compared against tire rack and found that good year and discount tires practically matched all prices within about $5. I ended up going with Dunlop's DZ102 for the rear. The DZ102 is supposed to be an upgrade to the front tires DZ101 so I think it should be safe..... I hope. At least that is what this noob went with since the tire tread on the front tires is still pretty good.

Was that a good decision?

Thanks!!!

For maximum road performance and reliability, I would run the same tires for the front and rear.
