Wish I would have known this was coming a few weeks ago! Just put some Nitto Invos only car but have always wanted to run some Star Specs... The Invos were more than that with shipping included!

Ahhh, the smell of fresh tires.

Nicee I drove Kenny's car with Z1 * tires and I was impressed, I envy you guys for such tires because they are not available in Europe again stupid laws.

Was it the only impressive thing about Kenny's school bus?

No, some other things too

I've been running these Z1 star specs for a year now.. Absolutely my favorite tire yet. I never had a tire that didn't squeal when breaking traction before so that took a little getting used to
+1
I hate that they are discontinuing them...

The replacement is supposed to be an improvement

[Sol Asylum]

No, some other things too

Like the seats right?  Those were pretty bad ass.

Getting in and out was the most painful

Yeah I had a hard time getting use to that on the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that I put on my car. It's nice though that it doesn't get you attention you don't want some, just feel the tail wag from time to time.

I remember the last time ep class tires went on closeout sale at a good price at TR. It was 2010 or so with the RE010's. It isn't very often and they didn't last long either.

TR now shows <10 available Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec tires.

The closeout sale is dead and gone now. Just noting for historical perspective.

Saw this post just after buying some General G-MAX AS-03 from Tirerack.  They have the G-MAX and DZ101 on sale right now for $138 and $139 respectively.
