Get all-season tired for your winter car.

Summer performance tires for the Z.

My long history with tires in general and Goodyear specifically lead me to one conclusion and recommendation - avoid Goodyear at all costs.

I think a sports car deserves tires for the cause, so Dunlops are my vote without knowing anything else.

Per CR: 1.Dunlop. 2.Michelin. 3. Falken. Eventually, you'll get the best you can afford. I got my beaZt Falkens and, so far, it's honeymoon.

^^i have the dunlop sport maxx tires on the rear of my car, 275/35/19's and they are decent...little squishy feeling at high speeds, but i dont know if thats because i went from a 275/30/19 nitto 555 ..overall i think i liked the nittos better for a everyday street tire..plus the nittos are supposed to last longer i beleive

Being in Chicago I'd do the all season unless you plan on buying snows and taking the Dunlops off. However, we have had a lot of people complain about the noise and irregular wear on that GY F1-A/S. Some people love it, some hate it.

yup, thats what it is..but really it isnt bad at all, only if im rippin on a corner i feel it or braking high speeds on a corner or somethin...everyday driving its actually a better ride, and seem to handle the power pretty decent....

Isn’t the Dunlop Direzza a summer performance tire? …And the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season is an all season tire?

Are you asking if it’s better to buy a summer performance tire or an all season tire?

I may not understand your question.
