Check out the reviews over at http://www.tirerack.com

I went with the BFG KDW's and couldn't be happier, although I have yet to test them at the track.

For what purpose? General driving, racing? rain/snow? mileage?

I went with Falken Ziez 502's and couldn't be happier. They have excellent wet traction, and they also stick very well when driving the car hard. Plus, I only paid about $95 a piece for them and they have a 40,000 mile warranty (I think I blew that out the window though)

Pep Boys!!

Ultra Z's

All four <$500 Z-Rated

Use em on on 95 Z
Great, but not on SNOW!!!
I have complete confidence, even in the rain!!

Great Tread Pattern too!!

I always get compliments on them at work, even at stoplights!!

I had the firehawks and they were horrible. I got Goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3 and absolutly love them. I would at least consider those. I've heard nothing but good reviews and they are Y rated (186 MPH, faster than Z). I got them at Tirerack.com cheaper than Goodyear could get them for! I would deffantly check these out.

I second this motion! I've got the new F1s and they rock! Excellent dry traction for drag racing, but very good behavior in the rain too. And a cool tread pattern!
