But here's a tirerack.com extreme tire with the Re-11s and Dunlop Z1 star spec (previous version of Z2):

The Bridgestone came on top but Dunlop Z1 star spec came pretty close (correct me if I am wrong, but it was a #1 tire from previous test).

The New Dunlop Z2 is suppose to be better than Dunlop Z1 star spec (according to tirerack):

Tire Test Results : Dunlop Direzza ZII Introductory Track Drive

So I would say the Dunlop Z2 should be better or even closer to the RE-11s.

But the bottom line is, I think it's safe to say "Dunlop Z2 is better than stock in rain or shine."

I'm the biggest Star Spec fanboy around (just ask m4a1), but they don't handle heat nearly as well as the re11, which is critical with the extra couple of pounds up front on the Z.
