OMG did you really put this shitty tyres on Z, what is the point to save few quid and have bad tyres on car...
If you wanna save few quid on tyres buy Maxxis VS5 or Sava UHP2
Maxxis have stiffer sidewalls and feels more sporty tyre, both have very good dry grip, and are good on wet, Sava will last long time as is known for Goodyear tyres
For best dry and wet grip buy latest Pirelli P Zero, but will not last as Goodyear or Michelin, for someone with low mileage is a best choice
As for wheels I have weighted original 18" wheels and are very light at 11.5 kg and strong, what you cant say about aftermark wheels, for me 18 " are best design after R wheels, light wheels are way to go if you wanna great feel when driving, 18-19" wheels will make no difference for road holding, but tyres will make a big difference
Cheers
Have you tried the new PH1 Acceleras?

  • Positive - Low rolling resistance. Low noise.
  • Negative - Very poor wet grip, extremely long wet braking distances, poor dry grip.
  • Overall - The Accelera PHI was extremely low grip in all scenarios. Do not fit this tyre.

Different tyre tests get different results for different tyres, if your happy with what your using happy days if others are happy with what they’re using don’t slag em off! If you’ve had experience with the said tyre and you weren’t happy with them then you have a right to air your views but don’t just quote magazine tyre reviews who are more than likely paid by the multinationals for being favourable to their product.
If the Acceleras were not safe to use and they are a Y rated tyre up to and in excess of 186 mph which the RCZ isn’t anywhere near to achieving those kind of speeds, they wouldn’t be allowed to sell them I know quite a few owners who run them and have been more than happy with their performance in all conditions.

Read user reviews, and there are a lot of test of this tyre, and on all test they are bad, shure tyre is made for high speed, but this doesnt mean that it will grip well in dry and wet, just whitstanf speed, they are good for normal riding, but thats all, how do you say in UK buy cheap, buy twice...
