Can't find a UK supplier of Direzza Sport Z1s.

PE2's look shit; are they really that good? I also can't find a supplier of 205/40/17...

Spec2s are cheap because as you say they compromise on the all-round performance. They wear faster than most tyres, they dont have a strong sidewall, and they aren't that good in the wet. BUT that's the sacrifice for dry performance. and in 205 40 guise, there aint a whole lot of sidewall to deform!! lol

Do you honestly rate your Dunlops more than Spec2s in the dry??

I can vouch for PE2's in 195/55/15. The side walls are a little soft but I only notice it on low speed corners if you throw the car into it. Very progressive tyre and excellent wet and dry grip.
