The V12s have very soft sidewalls. You lose a ton of steering feel with them. When you turn into a corner the tires roll over and then grip (they have decent grip) which lends itself to a mushy feel overall.

They are fine for many people that drive only on the street and don't push hard too often, but there are definitely better options out there for more enthusiastic drivers.

The pricing is hard to ignore, though.
