Only when the adults are wrong


I mean, it's just my opinion, so no need for it to be taken as gospel. I feel like the V12's don't really make any sense to purchase, but that's just me. They may be the right tire for someone.

I feel like they've gotten a good rep because there are a lot of people that are attempting to justify their purchase decision. Like most car mods, there is a lot of cognitive dissonance amongst purchasers. I think you will find that most people that buy them and actually drive their cars may give them positive reviews, but won't buy them again.

thanks for all the replies as i purchased some v12's and had them put on this past weekend. I like them at this moment, they are quieter then the yoks on the 18's i had. Depending on if I purchased a dd later this year or keep my Z as a dd i was going to look into a good as tire for more tire wear without a huge loss in performance so i was just getting peoples thought on these new tires.
As for Flashburn, you are a lucky man to be gettin gthat kind of wear out of your tires, here the concrete freeways with their flex lines if you want to call them that chew through tires. I think I will be lucky to get 15 out of mine maybe 16-17 on the fronts.

Thanks all for the input, thats all i was asking for.
