The tires need not be on your 370Z.

Found below

New Mickey Thompson Street Comp is a Cooper RS3-S

Tire Rack doesnt sell MT nor Cooper so no objective test results there....I'm very curious how these stack up against tires like RE11 and PSS

I've got them on my 350z. They are not that model cooper tires. If you take a good look at the pictures you'll see several differences. I took my Conti tires & wheels & put them on my 240sx. Conti tires also have a similiar look. Anyway love my conti & the M/T are just great too. Recommend both.

It will be helpful if you can provide details...rim and tire sizes, mods, driving style, contrasting wet vs dry, hot vs cold climate performance, what tires were previously on your 350z, and what model of contis are you vouching for, etc

Please don't take it the wrong way, but details and data (if possible) are needed to help form the right conclusions.

OK,
I don't like/use spacers! Looking good is nice but I'm more interested in performance & fun. I don't street race BUT I live in the country & a drive on curvy, empty, country roads is more important to me than big rear tires/small front tire look. That & 0 to 130+mph on streightways. Spacers & weight on front wheels is not for me. I also don't care for big wheels & thin, hard, noisy tires. Rubber & air serve a purpose. Also the sizes I use are for a 350z & 240sx. Having said ALL that I have M/T 245/45/18 on stock wheels in the front & 255/45/18 in the rear. The 240 now has my Z set up, Conti. ExtreneContact DW 235/45/17 front & 275/40/17 rear, 5 Zigen wheels. Both tires & sizes/set up are much, much, better than stock in handling dry/wet & snow. Both cars now feel VERY balanced(weight distribution) & have a much better smoother drive. Less noise, NO THUMP sound. 370 they are not, so more details not needed.
