There were V12 on my old daily driver when I bought it. After I switched to the Continentals when the V12s wore out, I was surprised at how good they felt. The difference was apparent right away and lasted throughout their life. It was far more comfortable and quiet. Tread life was very good also.

Just my thoughts. But I think there's a good rebate for Hankooks right now. Sorry, like everyone else, I've never driven on Direzza other than Star Spec.
