Have them in 275/35ZR18 and 305/30ZR19. They are a good buy and ride much better than the Goodyear crap flats. Just make sure you get a tire repair kit and a portable compressor just in case.

for the price/performance cant be beat. plus they look cool. especially when they are new and have the name in the center tread, wish it was deeper, mine have worn away already.
you are talking about the ventus v12 right?
btw - there was a $50 rebate on a set of four when I got mine in april. not sure if it's still going on.

I put V12's on 5 or 6 weeks ago. A thousand mile road trip and around town I really like them. Much quieter and smoother. I'll buy them again.

I too have them.In cold weather, mine bumped until they warmed up. I don't like them as well as the set of General Exclaim UHP's I had before that.My opinion, the General is a better tire.

I have a set in the stock size on my 99. They probably have 3000 or so miles on them and still look like new.
I like them, but they came on the car when I got them.

I have some on mine, stock sizes, they're a great tire....world's better than the goodyear rfs they replaced.
As for longevity, I've only got a couple thousand miles on mine, still feel great. I think the V12s are a relatively new tire(meaning a year or two old), haven't heard of anybody wearing through a set yet.
Good luck with the shopping

I've got them on my truck. Only about 1200 miles, but they seem fine to me. Still look like new.

Have had them on some of my other cars and they were a good tire.

Just bought a set of the Ventus V12 tires and had them mounted on my new wheels - haven't got them on the car yet.

I have the V12's on my SL 500 and they run and corner great! Quiet too!

I have Invos on my vette and like them as well...
