I have also used the Ventus V12 and I really like them as well, they are about on par with the S-04. If i had the money, I would choose either RE-11 or Michelin. probably the best tires for the money.

Called Tire Rack and they do not make the RE-11A (99W) in 265/35's and the old 98W (RE-11) they are out of.. S04's were rated better than Pilot PS2's only Michelin in stock that is not being discontinued or on back order while they re-tool for the tire at mfg.
Sorta sux with my tire size needs, that the biggees are re-tooling and no ETA or a date given of 1/3/14 for my Pilot SS 285/35's. Do not and cannot wait until then and they will probably do the same like they did two times prior and give a date and then that the date comes around they move it out further. Waiting since Sept.
So I ordered the S04's 265/35 & 285/35. I was gonna go AGAIN with the RE11's since I could not get Pilot SS, but that failed of course - murphy's law.
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it .
