Message	I am not sure why most tire places; TireRack, TiresPlus, DiscountTire, all seem to recommend them for the OEM size. They came on both Z's that I bought and I was greatly dissatisfied. They are quiet and ride well, but hook up about the same as a stick of butter on a frying pan. boostpro.net
