All new tires have a residual mold release compound on them. It usually takes a few hundred miles of regular driving to wear that release film off. Just take it easy for a while and eventually you're grip levels will pick up to where they should be.

The V12s have good grip levels on the street. They just have very soft sidewalls compared to the stock Bridgestones.
