You didn't read very thoroughly:

linux:~>tar --h | grep z
      --ignore-failed-read   do not exit with nonzero on unreadable files
      --record-size=SIZE         SIZE bytes per record, multiple of 512
  -i, --ignore-zeros             ignore zeroed blocks in archive (means EOF
  -I, --bzip2                        filter the archive through bzip2
  -z, --gzip, --ungzip               filter the archive through gzip
  -Z, --compress, --uncompress       filter the archive through compress
