I do see your point Ron, but again,if you step back from the advertising hype and the obvious appeal to our egos, I still do not think that we "NEED" Z rated tires. Perhaps if they did not exist this would not be a topic for debate. Designing components for any product that far exceed even the most extreme conditions that could reasonably be expected is more an appeal to our macho and bravado than it is a technical need.
Like I said before, I pwrsonally would maintain the Z rated tires on an Aero as well, but probably more for resale, so if I had to sell unexpectedly,I would not have to make excuses to a potential buyer. Also, If you lease, you MUST turn a car in with tires of like grade and rating, so again, there is another reason to do this.
My point was more a technical issue of questioning whether street cars are really benefiting from tires with ratings that could only be tested by racing(or possibly Mr. Coolknight,who would wear them out faster than you could read this)
