I ran a couple sets of the Direzza Z1 SS's back in the day with my LGT when I would autox and run road courses. The Z1 a pretty incredible tire with loads of grip and performance but the drawback of that is that it has a very stiff sidewall, wears pretty quickly, gets louder as it ages, and also doesn't clear standing water as well as more conventional summer tires.

Have you thought about the Continental ExtremeContact DW? After the Z1s, I ran a set of these and for normal driving, I found them to be good enough especially for the price. That being said, I still have a set of these mounted on my old wheels which are going on the BRZ once I finish the season and replace the stockers with winters.
