Wet performance, dry performance, great grip even in the early laps before up to temps.

Z2 should be the go to tire for the street/track 135er...

It costs less and out performs the PSS why wouldn't you?
Better tread life, quieter on the street, great in the the wet and more then adequate for the novice or low level intermediate driver who only sees a couple track days a year. That being said as soon as my PSSs wear out I'm going with the ZIIs. Since my 135i is not a daily and only sees driving to and from auto x/ track days with the occasional weekend fun run.
