If it helps. I am currently using Hankook ventus evo 12 on my 06 z. The grip is awesome in the dryness. With wetness its going to suffer a bit but still a very nice tire for the price. My only problem with the tire is the thread wear. I had these tires for about 7000-8000miles now. And Im going to need new tires very soon. Within the next couple of miles. I do drive my car really hard. I dont track but like flooring my car often and launching it when possible. Im sure if you drive nicely on these tires they would last more. Im looking to try Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 for my next set of tires. I heard good things about them, maybe if the hankooks dont suite you the Z1's will.

 

thanks .350 and VQ. mucho appreciated

 

I am noticing some pretty bad wear on mine, I do drive hard but the prior nittos weren't giving up quite so quickly and the price was very similar. Don't have more than 5-6K on them and there is noticable wear on the inner edges.

 

Ive driven on both the 452 and V12, and give the slight edge to Hankook. Neither is are great tires, both suck in the rain and both have traction issues after 10k miles. Invo's are much better tires, but the price is a bit higher on them.
