Not quite correct, there are in fact z-rated radials available, I have a set on my car. Pirelli P600 235/60 (high performance summer tire) in front, Nitto DR's in back 275/60 (also have 275/50, 295/50). Handling is far superior to BFG's or any S,T rated tire. You can find the Pirellis at Tire Rack.

I made a couple of posts when I found the Pirelli's, but for some reason didn't get much response. Maybe some don't like different front/rear brands. The sides are blackwall so it shouldn't really matter.

The Avon's do sound nice, albeit a bit expensive. Hopefully, they become available in the US. Good work to those spearheading the effort!
