I was wondering if anyone has used Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires before and if so had an thoughts on them. The surveys on them seem to be great as well as the reviews, just wondering what you guys thought. Im looking to get 225/50/16 for my 7th gen wheels. They seem like they would bite well for my 3s.

Fantastic track ready tire. The amount of traction it provides might be overkill for a daily driver imho unless you're making a ridiculous amount of power.

Pros:
Excellent dry/wet performance
Quiet when new
Durable if on a DD car. Mine have ~50,000 miles on them and still has plenty of tread left

Cons:
Slight drop in gas mileage ~1-2mpg
Become noisier/drone as the tread wears down (You can hear them if the radio is off at highway speeds, but road noise usually drowns it out. I don't find it to be intrusive at all)
