The Star Specs come in 275/35ZR18, but I was thinking that 35 profile might be too small. Here are the prices from tire rack

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
245/40ZR18 93W $209.00 (ea.)
275/35ZR18 95W $263.00 (ea.)
Total Cost = $944

Not bad at all. I think I'm gonna go with the all seasons. I know I'm gonna be driving in snow eventually, so it's better to spend a few hundred more on tires (vs the V12's) than to risk something worse happening. Only getting fronts this summer, rears will be put on when needed. For this tire cycle (and maybe the next one) I'll stick with all seasons. After that I'll probably switch over to RE11's or the Star Specs.
Makes sense. I wouldn't mix all seasons up front with the current tires out back though, especially since the car understeers so badly as it is.
