How many miles did you have on Bridgestones (more specifically, how much tread did you have left) when you switched?

I noticed the V12s felt a little less responsive on turn-in and possibly a bit more flex under lateral load, but I quickly equated this to going from virtually no tread on my Potenzas to full tread on the V12s. That feeling is most likely due to the extra tread. I'm sure if I had replaced the Bridgestones with a new set of the same tire I'd have noticed a similar effect.
