That's what I have on my Z. They're awesome. Great in dry and wet, I dont think I've ever experienced a tire that gives you better traction in rain. They're a little noisy, but I dont have a problem with it. Keep your alignment good though, as they can get choppy on Z/G35s.

what did you pay for your rears i just looked it up at 10 10 tires and its 361.99 per tire, how is that best bang for anyones buck,

I had nitto invos on my 18s and absolutely loved these tires, now on my new 19s i got the vredestein sessanta 275 35 19 and 245 35 19 and paid roughly 150 for the fronts and 200 for the rears they handle great i base that on the runs ive made at the dragon, these are second best to the nittos i would rate falken 452 as the worst of the three, wouldn't mind trying the kdws out on the dragon but i can put up that much cash for something ill burn off, the sessantas have held up great after about 5000k of pretty heavy driving and at 200 bucks per rear, they could last me 10k and ill be happy if they last 20k ill be really happy, but ive had the car about a year and a half and rear tires on this damn thing just go, but of course living near the dragon the car sees that road at least once twice a month I will finish my tire rant by saying that for the money and the performance the Vredestein Sessanta tires are the clear winner no matter what else you find, best performance on the twistys nitto Invo all the way, i even put those on my mothers M35 and drove it up there and had lots of fun but i don't see anyway possible for the kdw to have performance that would equate the difference in money compared to the nitto or the vredestein just my 2 cents but definately check out the vredestein for money saving and check out the nittos for amazing grip, maybe come z days someone will have some kdws and let me drive around up there to see how they are heres a link to USN HM 350z review of the sessanta tire https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....stein+sessanta

271 a tire still isn't cheap for something that probably won't last 15k

These tires are real good compared to some other tires especially considering their 300 AA tread rating. Pretty good for a performance tire. +1 on Kinda loud, but not unbearable.
Method, would you consider these the best tired around in terms of gripping power? I want something that is excellent for gripping in high speed turns.

Loud, gripy, progressive feel... that about sums them up... also AWFUL! in cold weather. They last me around 10k miles.
