Are you going to Nismo Fiesta in April? I got tickets and going.

I wish, I'm never much around and travel most of the Year......and don't have a Nismo ;-)

And yes, even when they are warmed up they rather spin easily, have about 10k on them but they still have a decent amount of tread left.

It was much more difficult to spin them on my BWM with a bit less power, but I am certain it's the tires, and again back in NY on asphalt, the first 5k miles I never had that problem. I will switch to a softer tire soon and see how it goes.

Don't need a Nismo for Nismo Fiesta.

In bold, you answered your own question.
Part of it is tires, but part is power too.
Put a 4 banger in it, problem should go away.

Seriously though I changed to continental dws and it made a small diff.

Haha, thanks, but the BMW had 301 horses, not much less than the Z, far from a 4 banger :-)
