Unfortunately the sale was only on Friday and Saturday. I literally ordered the tires at 1159pm Saturday night, just in time to get the discounts added to the order.

If you're really interested in getting a pair, they're on sale right now through Discount Tire Direct via eBay.

For $536 - $100 off instant (using code 'CMOTORS915') and then another $70 mail in rebate through Bridgestone (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/pd...ormSep2015.pdf). Effectively $366 for the set.

235/45ZR17 Hankook V12s are $372 after an $80 Visa gift card @ TireRack. not bad, IMO.

The V12's through Discount Tire Direct eBay are $336, with free shipping. IYO should I go with the V12's or the RE760's? Daily driven, little spirited driving, ~12k miles per year, California so these would end up being year round tires.

I had DZ101s for 5 years and ~25k miles, only replacing because I blew one out and felt like it's been long enough.

to be honest, i'm not familiar with the RE760. the V12 is my go-to street tire, though. i've used quite a few sets of them with good results. i'd consider another tire if it were either cheaper or close in price but a much better performer.
in the same price range (last i checked), i've also used Nitto 555s which were pretty decent too. that's why i daily now and they seem to be lasting forever. i did one track day and an AutoX on them. they were okay.
