Tire recommendation

Don't even put the RE11s in the same category as the V12s. The RE11 is a much better tire and it will die a lot quicker, I expect better wear but way less grip on the V12s. I have V12s on my daily driver as summer tires and RE11 for my autoxer. I can tell you the V12s are nowhere close to the RE11 in grip.

I would expect about 12k miles with the RE-11's. I think I got about 6k miles until I corded my fronts thanks to auto-x. No direct experience with the V12 but I'm guessing you could expect around 25K miles on those depending on your driving.

I just removed my tires at 3000 miles. Let me just say they have about 12 events and 110 autox runs. I still have 4 to 5/32nd all around except a lot more wear on the outside on the RE11 in the front. I am debating if I should flip them just to get a few more miles out of it. I definitely recommend the RE11 if you race the car and can afford one set of those a year.

I compared them to the R888, they dont feel as good, but times are within a few tenths

I got about 20 events and the equivalent of well over 200 runs on the fronts before they corded. Mine actually corded on the inside and I didn't know they were corded until I pulled the wheels off for something else (whoops!). My rears are progressing the same way and I think I'm going to back down my rear alignment a bit to preserve tire life. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to flip the RE-11's as they have a stiff outer sidewall and a soft inner sidewall. But if it is that or throw them away then it might be worth a shot.
