a new set came on my car when I bought it used (2 months ago).. only thing is I have never driven the car (or another Z) with any other tires..
I can't really give any feedback on the road noise, they are noisy.. but this may be a trait of the Z, won't know until I ride in a Z with other brands... but the handling seems to be good.... in rain they handle pretty good as well..
I would say it's probably worth what you pay for them.. maybe even a bit more.
Hope this helps.. I will take a spin in a buddy of mines Z and get back with you..

to be honest man... I would hate to give you a positive review when I really have no way of doing a solid comparison. I would hate to see you fork out $400 and come to find that they are terrible tires..
to me, they are fine.. I bought the car used and the dealer just put them on.. so I don't know what other branded tires would be like. My next set will be Toyo T1R's when I get my new wheels... maybe then I could do a fair comparison.. i might come to find that the tires I had on my car was a major part of the road noise/harsh ride.. i may not..
I haven't "pushed" the car as much in the rain just because it's still new to me.. and the last thing I want to do is eat a curb..
basically just don't use my opinion heavily on deciding whether or not you make the purchase...
