They are a good street tire.
Grip level is good. Tread life is good. Wet traction is good. The sidewalls are soft, though, so you will lose some steering feel. The tire will roll over a bit on the sidewall before it takes a set when you enter a corner. That leads to a bit of a squishy feel.

I have them, and they are ok. Price is good. They aren't as grippy as the OEMs, and the traction control kicks in a lot more now. Hindsight, I wish I spent a little more and got a better, stickier tire.

Thanks for all the good advice. After i posted the Tire guy called backed and lowered the price to 1097.42. since it's my DD i like the idea of a better ride.
after these Bridgestones it should ride and be a little more quiet! and still handle better then most. as a side note i can't believe i got almost 30,000 on them, with still some thread |

If you are just DDing / driving normally, then the V12s are awesome. To me they cannot compair to the Yokohama ADVANs that are stock on the NISMO. I replaced my rears with V12 and I can definitely feel the squish. I had intended on going with the V12s all around, but I decided against it and rather have the ADVANs with their 180 treadwear rating. I got 25k outta the last set of rears and I do a lot of "spirited" driving. Hope this helps......
