I haven't V12's but I've done a lot of hard driving on the Dragon and similar roads on the stock Potenzas and the Pilot Super Sports. Potenzas lasted me from 7500-12000 miles on the odo and the pilots have been holding up from then onto 17000 miles very well. I keep reading about how the V12s arent really good for hard driving despite being good for the price. The PSS have been rated to have pretty good wear on the track.

I do think a lot of it has to do with camber though. Getting it near factory settings should result in pretty even wear during aggressive driving.
