Any of you guys switched between the PSS and Hankook V12 tires? I barely got 8k with the rear tires after getting turbos (lots of spinning and wheel hopping on cold days haha). The insides are close to getting bald, but it doesn't seem like these tires had much tread to begin with. The front tires have at least 75% tread left.

I'm just wondering if it's worth it to spend a bit more on the PSS over the Hankook if these tires will last a bit longer, or stick to Hankooks because they're easily disposable for the money.

I went from the V12 to the PSS. The V12 were getting too greasy after a couple of track laps... The SS are very constant throughout the heat cycles. Since you have a stage II and 75% left on the fronts, i would buy another V12 rear set and burned them till they drop.. The SS should improve your acceleration times (less tire spin). Threadware could be an issue on the SS...

I actually had quite the similar problem!

Got a set of PSS' the rears only gave me 8k but the fronts are still at 8 and 7/32nds So I had a set of V12's put on the rear for treadlife. But it's annoyingly loose even on spirited road driving. Not even from a standing start. I knew the V12's weren't the best for cornering, but I was trying to cut costs. I won't get another set of V12's again. It will either be DW's until the fronts wear out, then a full set of PSS' again. Or a full set of DW's if they do better than the V12's.
