Default Rear 275/35/19: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 vs. Potenza RE760 Sport

So, last night I was checking tire pressure on the Z and made a discovery that my rear tires are getting bold. Then, instantly I realized that I have put almost 23,000 miles on them! (considering the fact I bought them used with 2000 miles). I got almost 25,000 out of RE050? that's shocking. So, I may have a week or two remaining on these rear tires. So, I initially wanted to replace them with RE050A BUT their pricetag of $340+shipping (another $30 each) makes them quite expansive. I was looking on tirerack and saw a couple of similar tires for much less. One of them is Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 and the other is Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 sport. How are these tires rack up compared to RE050? (reviews look better) I DO want to keep the RE050 preciseness, handling and grip but don't feel like shelling out $400/per tire. If you have gone from RE050 to any of these tires, please let me know your input. I'm looking for your input on handling and wet tire performance. noise, thread life etc are not important.
