Go to Discount Tire Direct: www.discounttiredirect.com or Tire Rack: www.TireRack.com

From DTD I recommend the: Nitto NT NeoGen ZR inexpensive and a good tire. $118 for the 225/50 and $129 for the 235/50.
From Tire Rack: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Awesome Tire! Searh the forum for reviews. I'm more fond of the BFG KDW but it was hard between the GoodYear and BFG. Too bas BFG doesn't make the KDW in the 225/50 & 235\50 sizes. Anyhow: $155 for the 225/50 and $175 for the 235/50

I also recommend geting the Certificates for Free Replacement/ Road Hazard Program. With low profile tires its a good investment in case something happens to the tire.

Not a problem. Best thing to do is search the forum. A lot of Z owners have tried almost every tire out there. Most people are getting the BFG KDW and the GoodYear Eagles. There are people out there that have the Toyo's and Falkens and wrote reviews.
