Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec

Has anyone heard of the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec or had any experience with these? I was thinking of purchasing another cobalt used as a fun car and wanted a nice aggressive sticky set of street tires and ran across these. The reviews seem to be good but I don't really have 100% trust in them. What are your guys thoughts? click on pic for link.

suxxost runs those. The reviews are really good on them. Also take a look at the Nitto NT05's.

I'm running these right now and they are the best tires i've tried. I've driven on eight different performance tires and these are the best in my opinion

They don't have those in the size I want from what I could find(235/45/17)

Well from what I have read that as long as you are not lowered you should not have a problem. IMO for every day driving and autocross 245's might be a bit wide. The only way I can see 235's being to small is for drag racing, and I would recommend 245 DR's or slicks over 245 street tires any day of the week.

I run Potennzas so3 pole positions, very similar tread design, and they are way better than oem, in my opinion.

Do they have any other size in 18" other than the 275/35R-18 that they list? I was also looking at the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT they just don't have the size I want in 17's if I do indeed drop down a size in wheels.
