yes on my mini copper s and just last week I was taking a Left turn about 80mph and as I apexed the right passeneger side tire folded and grinded the lip of the rim.This tells me the sidewalls are very soft and if a mini cooper can fold the tire at 80mph imagine what your z would do to them. Just fyi

they were actually pretty good (WAY better than stock 17's) in the snow for the past 2 winter seasons here in CO.
In the dry I liked them, but it wasn't hard to push them beyond their limits. For straight line they were great. I didn't have any problems with the sidewall, they'd just loose grip with very aggressive cornering. I have 19" front and 20" rear.

Never ran the NT555's, but I can vouche for the NT450's. I've owned about 4 sets in both 15 and 17. A good performing, long lasting tire. Not very expensive either.

Thanks, do you think I will have feathering issues with the 20's?

Overall the Nitto are pretty good in dry conditions. I do not like them wet or extremely cold conditions. I will go with a different brand the next time I buy tires.
