I wouldn't expect these to be cheaper (barring introductory price ) being a petroleum product and we know where fuel prices are going.

No, I want a 265/40/17 in the z2, they have it for the z1. If they don't offer that size I hope they don't discontinue my other size. I would really like a 275/35/17 ( I don't think anyone makes that size)

Just curious why so wide? Are you FI? Staggered or non-staggered? Tire Rack has the 265/40 3lbs heavier per tire over the 255/40 which seems like a big peanalty for such a marginal gain in width. But then again Tire Rack isnt exact or most reliable info in some cases.

It's the newer better version of Z1 SS and is entirely replacing it from what I can tell.
