I will probably see at least one track day with these tires so I'll be sure to report back.

![]() the main difference i feel grip wise between the Potenzas and the V12s is minor.. almost like there is a bit of squirm in the rears when coming through a corner at the limit. the potenzas just felt solid. for now i am just happy that the V12s are so much quieter!

I noticed the V12s felt a little less responsive on turn-in and possibly a bit more flex under lateral load, but I quickly equated this to going from virtually no tread on my Potenzas to full tread on the V12s. That feeling is most likely due to the extra tread. I'm sure if I had replaced the Bridgestones with a new set of the same tire I'd have noticed a similar effect.
