When I replace I'm planing to move up to a better tire, and I'll do my research then for the selection. I will check the tread depths on the next set just for the heck of it, just to see if they're all the same, but whatever they are, they are.

To me, with the Z it's all about handling, not how many miles the tires deliver.

Used to be that all tires were around 11/32 each tread depth, don't know about these type of tires.

I do have to say that for OE tires, these Bridgestone's do a really great job on the road. Can't really say anything bad about them. In fact, I really like them. Very pleased with them. Seems like I should move up for my next set, and I most likely will, but I don't know, these have been great tires so far.
I completely agree with you. I have no complaints about these tires despite the treadwear rating. Im thinking my next set is going to be PS2s... if all the production supercars (aside from the GTR) can run them, they are FAR good enough for the Z.

I just checked my tires and I see the outer is wearing more quickly than the rest. I still have more tread than op. I'm been lowered for almost 11k miles, been lowered 8k with h&r.
