Z2s should be a bit stiffer than RE11s. IMO, the RE11s are garbage, they cannot handle heat like Hankook, Dunlop of BFG. They grease over too easily and their grip threshold sucks

Thanks Kyle.
I saw a review where the ZII is supposely harsh on the streets (to be expected with a stiffer sidewall), and noisy due to their tread pattern (hum above 20MPH). Have you experienced this?
Have you tried these tires at high speeds both on cement and asphalt pavement?
Im convinced I will stick with extreme performance tires for now, and stick with my stock 261 RIMS (225/40R18 and 255/35R18 max tire sizes) due to limited budget.
I obviously dont have enough experience for R-comp yet. My top two choices are: Dunlop Direzza ZII's, and Yokohama AD08R. Nick from Tirerack suggest that I choose one of these two for better sidewall stiffness. He thinks the ZII may be more appropriate for operating temperature range, and various surfaces (cement or asphalt).
Thanks.
