And flashburn, how do you like the V12's compared to stock? I am considering those myself.

Thanks!!
They are pretty good, but other than being slightly quieter, I don't find them any better than stock. They grip about as well, but the sidewall is a good deal softer.

I will say though, that they stood up great against my first track day. They were very predictable and had no issues with heat. Since they stayed predictable, the soft sidewall wasn't a big deal since you get use to how it feels. Although it wasn't a hot day (around 65), so I don't know how they would hold up on a hotter Summer day on the track. I've read complaints that they get slick when they heat up quite a bit. However, none of this will matter unless you are tracking the car. If you aren't tracking it, they are very good substitutes for the stock tires and a ton cheaper.
