Question Z rated tires. Need suggestions.

Looking for advice on Z rated tires for a 1994 Mustang GT. I need a good handling tire that won't break loose in the corners or float at high speeds. I would consider my driving style to be very agressive.

Details: 245/45-17

im happy with my firehawk GT tires, 225 out back, stiffer side wall. low price. z';s are nice but may be a bit much and the cost

I've had good luck with Nitto and Sumitomo.

Nittos are pretty good. Haven't had them up at the speeds they're rated at though.

I think someone said you get about 8000 miles out of Nittos.. how much budget do you have? I have Michelin Pilot sports, they are probably the best all around tires but quite pricey

8000? if you abuse them you'll get about 15000. i'm well on my way to getting 20-25k out of mine.
