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.
Damn I hope I can get 25,000 miles out of my tires.

Anyway, I would say based on your needs and the comparison image you posted, the V12's would work ... I have not made it to the buying tires scenario yet so don't have any input for you there.

Put something on there though. And sooner rather than later.
