Here's a test. Though z1 came in 3rd, I'd still get them over the other based on price and performance.

Decided to go w AD08s as it works in both wet and dry conditions. My next set will be the XS in the spring as it's the fastest dry tire according to GRM.

I am currently installing the RE-11's and will write them up as soon as I put a few hundred miles on them.

AD08's are great! Not sure if they're worth the extra $ over Z1 SS but they're competitive. Running 285/30 18s so the other tires don't make that wide of a tire. Could probably even run the 295s if I wanted to. They do chunk in the beginning so make sure to heat cycle them (maybe 3 autocross laps) but after that they're fine. When slipping after heat cycle, they howl and slide controllably but then BANG! instant grip. At a local autox I was 5th out of 64 and then ran roughly 5th in my group out of 30 at a track event (not everyone was timed but I passed lots of people and no one passed me). Wear seems to be excellent for this type of tire.
