Per this thread -
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=974897 - v12s are okayish tire for it's price at the best of times, and it appears they released a newer version of the tire - and older ones are on closeout.
For around $500 per set depending on the sizes (I run 245/40 & 275/35 and it was $508) it seems to me to be a screaming deal. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up
My experience with these tires:
Mine lasted me 7 months, about 12k miles, and 5 track days (given I'm a novice at the track I don't give them too much beating - but on strictly street driving I reckon they would last another 5k at least).
After my 4th track day I did get some "chipping" - as described with pics in this thread:

Overall, although I'm sure there are better options out there - for the lack of having tried better (read: more expensive and softer & stickier) tires I have no complaints. As to track performance - undoubtedly stickier tires would be more forgiving and MOAR FASTER around the track, but I have so much else to work on (e.g. smoothness of transition between brakes & gas) that a handicap of suboptimal tires doesn't really bother me that much. I have skillz to optimize, and if a cheaper tire will mean I spend two extra days at the track - I'll take it any day
