Message	you've got some mutually exclusive features in your list, any tire that offers reasonable track performance will not last long. Any tire that gives you 10000 miles of highway driving will not be a great track tire. However, the only ones I can see that reasonably fit that bill are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's... pricey, and not available in OE sizes. I'd cross-shop the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1Star-Specs... seem to have a better wet rating, although you won't get anything near 8000 mi out of them. I've run several Falkens over the years, Ziex 912's, FK 451's, FK 452's and RT 615's... all of which are good at one or two things, but not perfect all-rounders. Buddy ran Toyo T1R's, didn't get a lot of miles out of them. Good Luck, WARNING!  Forum posts are likely to contain traces of irony.

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now. - BigTDogg (MA) 07:17:08 07/17/09 times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
