Tyres are all relative to what u put them through and should be used in the manner as they are suited for.
U won't use sailun for autocross for e.g. but then pilot sports are a waste for everyday driving.

Daily driving is scary on sailuns. I call a spade a spade im using them as a temp solution until i get my wheels back from the painter. I have had better feedback and grip from roadstones

Z2 is a rotational tyre where as z3 is an inside/outside tyre.
Z3 is a far superior tyre to the z2

Bought some Dunlop LM703 in 205/60/16. Using for 2 weeks now, very comfortable, not noisy, very good wet road traction.

Dunlops are mostly great when new. Major complaint is when they wear and tend to get noisy

Didn't Tiidas come with 185/70 or 195/70? A 205/65 is almost exactly the same in height.

205/65 is an odd size to find
best u stick to 205/60 what rim are you using? if its the normal steel rim i would suggest 195/60 just incase the tyre touches the shock since the steel rim is narrow and usually a low offset

Dunlop SP 601 Sport, 205/60/14. $500 for one. Bought at Maxx Tyre Shop, right next to Centre of Excellence, Macoya.
Very good in dry weather. Not much rain these days so I have not had the opportunity to test them in the wet.
