I am interested in these tires. I live in FL do daily driving plus also 1/4 mile track couple times a month. How are these tires?

I have them in 255 fronts and 285 backs they are pretty good tires. Great price and low road noise. It's a good allaround tire.

Bridgestone re 11's r i think the best though for the z. u went up a size on stock wheel?

If you do a quick search you will find a lot of opinions on the V12s. They are a good street tire. Grip is pretty good but the sidewalls are very soft and squishy. You lose some of the sharp and responsive steering feel with the softer sidewall. The car rolls over a bit and then takes a set. If you don't mind that, they are fine. If you want precise steering feel... you can do better.

the re 11's r a better tire tho right?

m4a1mustang · 08-05-2011, 10:45 PM

In what regard?

The RE-11s have more grip and sharper handling in the dry. But they also cost more and will wear out quicker. The V12s would also have the edge in standing water.

No f-ing way. My 285 RE-11 performed much better than my 205 V12s

Yup, that is the common opinion of most users and most automotive reviews, such as the one that Car and Driver did last year.

cossie1600 · 08-05-2011, 11:53 PM

I didn't measure it, but it was way more than what I should be driving on at 115mph. I guess the faster you go, the quicker you push the water away

Seriously the V12s are way overrated due to the stupid reviews online. They are good tires to drive around on, but completely useless as a performance tires. I had them for <2000 miles, sold it as soon as I found a sucker to buy them.
