Yokohama Advans, EnVigors etc. I've ran every tire they have in the states and love them. Then again I do work for Yokohama also Quality Assurance. Tirerack.com has the best prices for them.

You may not "hot rod" around, but your Z certainly does. As a high performance sportscar with low profile tires, it's never going to have a truly cushy ride. But look at some of the latest all-season tires (I like the General AS-03) and research some of the tests and customer comments at Tire Rack before you make a choice.

Certain tires just "work" on certain cars.
If you are looking for a smooth quiet ride in comparison to the OEM
tires that come on a Z,my vote is for Hankook V-12's.
I replaced my OEM Bridgestone 17's years ago with 19's.
Thought the ride quality would be worse because of a lower sidewall.
Its much smoother and very quiet.Of course,due to a staggered set up,you
can't rotate your tires.Due to this,your rears may suffer after some miles
with inside camber wear.You'll hear some singing...Furthermore,the v-12's
have a rather soft sidewall.Not good for extreme track conditions.
They are also a great looking tire.

You may be an old fart, but you type like a 16 year old girl.

We have small sidewalls; if you hit a pot hole hard enough, you're going to eff up your wheel regardless hardness/softness.

Rather than asking a bunch of random people you can search through Tire Rack for specific reviews and ratings
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...y.jsp?type=UHP
Nearly highest rated tire in terms of comfort is what I run - Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports
