they ride way more quiet than the Potenzas, but i can definitely tell a difference in performance when pushing the car. for now, the price difference was worth a small drop in perfomormance but for the next set i think i will try something different. no other way to find the perfect set for your specific needs.
My guess is once you get enough heat in the tires (i.e. track situation) the RE050As will outperform, but as far as I've been able to tell (spirited street driving at the most), the V12s are as good or better than the Bridgestones.

I will probably see at least one track day with these tires so I'll be sure to report back.
