I only drive on the street, no racing, when you read over and over agian how great these are, and review after review that calls them the benchmark...NO WAY. I just recently switched from stock fronts and s-04 pole positions in the back.. These tires were a downgrade in over all performance, the compound is a tad sticker that the bridgestones, thats where the advantages end. These tires roll like a pig in mud around a hard coner, the bridgestones did not, and JHC the steering response is just crap, I should not be able to turn my steering wheel 3-4 inches either direction with not repsonse from the tire...THIS IS A PERFORMANCE TIRE or so it is labeled, big deal that it is quite and rides nice...we are not driving mercedes...my kdw's on my 350 were just as good, and the v12s are only marginally worse and I HATE those pos tires....had some toyo proxes which I did not like, I would say they are about the same...I also work at a car delaership, and have driven on so many different tires...hell I sell Michelins, they are great options for most of my customers...what I have been learning is this is a good tire if you just have a 370z and do not really push it as I do, but save your money next time and go with something cheaper IMO.
