    Shirley! Shirley! Shirely! LOL! Pole Positions sound good but aren't really cheaper than the GY's either, + or - a little depending on where you buy them.

    Who said they are cheap?

    I just recently put the Bridgestones on my '07 Z. I have 1,200 miles on them and they seemed to do well in the rain, on a recent trip back from the museum. What I don't like about them, is the fact that the rear rim's edge seems to be a little more exposed with these tires than with the Goodyears. In a hard cornering situation or autocross, I wonder if this could be a concern.

    Default Goodyear super tires ????

    My 07/Z has 9,300 miles and never burned out and the rear tires are shot, But in only one tread path and has not gotten to the wear bars.
    I sure hope the NEW GoodYear Super Car tires are better than the old Super car tires. I had the aliment checked and it is in specs.

    I have about 17500 mi on my 06Z and the OEM Good years and also have significantly more wear on one side of the tire than the other but the wear is not nearly as bad as yours.

    I have been to 3 Goodyear tire shop and the going price is $875.00 plus Tax for both. Biggest part of 1k, I believe Michelin is where I am going.

    UPDATE: went to a Goodyear owned store and the average wear was 50% and credited me $250.00 per tire, $606.00 out the door. I still believe the tire had a belt problem, or a foot problem. Anyway I am happy.
