Default Best tires for my z

First off, I'm sorry, I'm a noob and dont know too much about a lot of things. I'm still in the learning process lol. Anyways, I need new tires for my z cause mine a really low and cant keep traction and swing to the side really bad in 1st and 2nd. I need some good sticky tires that are good when i launch but still give traction in rain. I doubt I will take it to the track anytime soon, I just daily drive it on the streets.

Square? I thought the back needs narrower so the car rotates around corners.

Two things! First, you keep your liver spotted hands off my beautiful mother, she's a saint! Second, You sit down and write a cheque to Dale and Brennan for $10,000! Or I'll shove one of those fake hearing devices so far up your ***, you can listen to your lower intestine as it produces PEWP!!

make sure you get the tires with tubes in them. This is very important as the tubeless tires most shops sell are not good for performance applications like the Z.

I've heard pouring blinker fluid on your tires and then roasting the tires for 30 seconds makes them real sticky for a few days. I'd just do that every so often for leh traction.

This would not work. Needs to run a 195/75/16 in the rear to keep TCS happy
