I will probably see at least one track day with these tires so I'll be sure to report back.
good point there.. i havent driven with the V12s on a good warm day yet. they may be better when hot...

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!
