V12s are great for the street. Yea not a track tire. Most of the time it's pointless to flip tires, since unless you have a great hook up at a shop you can expect anywhere from 20~30 dollars per wheel for mounting and balancing. That's 60 bucks for just the fronts that could be put towards new tires later down the line.
For the price I like Sumitomo HTR Zs, not the best, but I think it's great for on a budget.

Hankook Ventus V12's are good tires. In my experience, great life and good feel overall. They call it a "Performance Summer Tire" but living in CA its a really good All-Season Tire. Honestly I've had them for almost 25k miles and they're still at 8/32! And the way I drive I am actually impressed. Four or Five times a year I take some trips to the mountains and theyre still good.... IDK. Honestly with the way I drive I'm looking at Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position or Michelin Pilot Super Sport next.

I would say the OEM Bridgestone Turanza had more of a Raised Rib whereas the Hankook Ventus is more Recessed. I wouldnt say the tires in question had a rim guard though.

So the Hankooks V12's with different sizes front and rear CAN be swapped right to left (as long as keep rears in back) if remounted? I was thinking that since the Bridgestones' could not be done the Hankooks could not be either. Seems worth $60 to me to increase the mileage you can get out of them.

Little off topic but I have the oem turanza's on my car and am about to hit 30k and am going to be needing to replace them soon. Any suggestions? I want something quieter/smother road ride but still has good treadlife
