The treadwear so far is incredible, I have over 6k miles and I'm still at 9/32 tread or so. It is fantastic. The cornering grip is also amazing, I plow through turns like I used to with the stock RE050A.

One thing to note is that my front tires are Bridgestone Potenza S04 pp. The stiff sidewalls in the front give me the responsiveness I desire, while the all season has the grip and treadwear - at the expense of sidewall softness. I would say the sidewall on my 295/30/19 is about the level of the Hankook v12.

Honestly, if you can afford burning good money fast for good rubber, by all means. I drive over 22k miles a year, so having to replace the rears twice a year is a no no for me.
Thanks Alstann for some meaningful feedback as opposed to some previous posts.
This helps people like the OP make informed decisions.
Don't know about running two different types of tires though?
