I just bought a set of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec and hope to do a track day May 15th. I will let you know how they hold up! :D

I found the star specs to be a amazing tire traction wise. But they do ware fairly quickly. I fail to understand how they managed to get a treadwear rating of 200. They are nearly as soft as the Blizzak WS-60s I have on my winter beater.

You guys who must have the new tires... Tirerack has new tires in stock now:
Size 205/45/16 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 "The Potenza RE-11 is the first Potenza street tire to incorporate Bridgestone's 3D Seamless Stealth technology originally introduced in their Formula 1 and GP2 racing tires. The Potenza RE-11 features an asymmetric tread pattern that combines massive outboard independent shoulder blocks interlocked with a notched circumferential intermediate rib that provides the lateral stiffness needed to enhance steering response and increase dry cornering traction. Inboard, a continuous intermediate rib and notched shoulder rib are separated by wide, straight circumferential grooves that provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction." I can only guess that these are going after the Dunlop Star Specs
