I've been driving on them for a couple of weeks now and my first intitial impression is that they are a much better tire than what I had on previously which were NT-05's
Much quieter for street driving and a lot more planted and stable with the spirited driving that I've been doing on the ramps. I don't do much driving in the rain but I would also guess that they will be way better in wet conditions as well.

I actually went lapping this weekend with them and my intial first impressions were that they had pretty good turn in and decent grip, but I was trying different pressures to find what is ideal. The track is still pretty green so I wasn't pushing too hard but for a street tire that has a treadwear rating of 300 it has very decent grip. I think it will offer about the same amount of dry weather grip as my old Yokohama AD08's but a lot more comfortable on the street with better wet performance and longer life.
It still doesn't touch a full R compound or slicks though so I'll save these just for the street and back to slicks for me.

I'd definitely recommend these for any Z.
