Having a budget for tires is fine. Getting cheap tires because you can't afford quality tires is not. You can get a good quality set of tires for a sport package Z for ~$1K. If that's too much, maybe you can't afford this car.

I know the feeling. I purchased a used set of rears for budget reasons and to even out my front/rear replacement schedule. It put me right back on track to get all four replaced at the same time.

lol... Lot's of Falken haters on here.

I put tires on the Z a couple months ago, Falken Ziex 612's. The Falken Azenis tires are good too, we have a set on the 3000GT and they are holding up very well. So far the Ziex's are working well on the Z. My wife has drove the car in a dusting of snow and some heavy rains with no problems.

I've got Falkens on my Tundra, my ZJ, (and like I posted) our Z and 3000GT. Awesome tires for the money, IMO.

I bought 2 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports 275/35/19 for $185 per tire on tirerack.

No complaints here, especially for the price.
