This is the only roundup review I've found of the V12s and it came in second behind the Dunlop Z1s: ...and they beat the PS2s in wet and dry. I'm confused because the V12s cost about half as much as the PS2s.
Well, it could be for a lot of reasons, some of which likely are the base polymer supplier -- in Asia, they might be buying from someone like Kumho (Kumho tires are a sideline to their polymer business), whereas a U.S/European maker will be buying Dow/DuPont etc. polymers at a much higher cost. Likewise with all the additives; plasticisers, fillers, anti-oxidant package, etc. Plus you do pay for the Michelin man. You just do -- but my Pilot Sport A/S Plus's always make that worthwhile to me. ~ H
