I use the Ventus V12s to haul my kids back and forth from school...does that count?

They seem to be decent tires so far...and you can't beat the fact that they are dirt cheap ($80 rebate right now) compared to the other 19" tires out there.

Just put on the P Zero Rosso and man what a difference on the street. Going to the track this saturday and we will see how they do. I have read a lot of good reviews about the Bridgestone Potensa SO-4 as well.

in for links to any track reviews of the potenza S-04 PP tires. i am just about ready to pull the trigger on those but i want to be sure they grip better than what is on the boss from the factory before i spend 1400 on a set.

So...to follow up on the OP's question...the Hankook V12s have started to prove themselves to be a pretty decent tire after an extended break-in period.

I was concerned when I first bought them after I had to pull out quickly in traffic (only half throttle) and I did a 20 foot burnout out of the parking lot. After that I had about a month straight of wet pavement driving which resulted in a couple of mild stops that still managed to kick on the ABS. Once the weather dried up the tires started to grip better (think I was able to wear off the outer layer of tread) and after 1.2K miles on them they're sticky on both wet and dry pavement. No more unplanned burnouts or ABS braking and they feel stable and in control at all speeds.

That being said, I think they're a FANTASTIC and cheap daily driver tire with a performance twist...but I doubt I'd buy them for competition use.
