I agree completely w/the A509 choice. I had them on my Z for over a year and they are a great tire. The cornering grip is excellent, and like you said, if you don't burn them up, they have a good tread life. I would have bough them again, but I got a **** of a deal on some Dunlop D40M2's. I also like these tires, however I got the great deal because they were going out of production. However, if you're interested in the D40M2's check the Tire Rack. They might have some left.
