Well I don't even get my summer tires for 7-10 business days since the tires are on backorder... I'll probably switch em out come March...
But, I got 2 sets of wheels, so if I need to switch back a little elbow grease and jackstand will do the trick =)

Got the Direzza Sport Z1s. Not the DZ101. Just got a call that they are on national backorder (from discounttiredirect)... grrr... To wait or to get another set... I wonder if Tirerack has them in stock. Discounttiredirect had the best price. 486 shipped for my ap1 rims.

This is the price I got from Keystone Tire:
Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
215/45/17F ----- $ 129. installed & balanced
245/40/17R ----- $ 151. " " " " " "
You just cant beat this price, it blows them all away. I will be getting them in 225/255, so the cost will be a tad more.

The only question I have for this tire is longevity and wet performance compared to the RE-01R. I know it's been proven it'll edge ahead of the RE-01R in dry conditions, but I'd like to know about it in the wet, as I have no control if it rains on track day or not. Longevity is probably the main thing though (in track conditions), if it's 25% cheaper than the RE-01R (or upcoming RE-11), but wears out 25% faster, then it's a wash and I might as well stick to the Bridgestone.
That new Nitto NT-05 caught my eye too, but the sizing isn't exactly what I'm looking for. They're supposed to be almost as fast as their NT-01 R-comp.
