As I now have about 800 miles on my new Potenza S-04 tires, I thought I'd provide a little feedback...

Prior to getting these tires I had Hankook V12s. So, this is the only ground on which to base my comparison. This said, the S-04 is leaps and bounds better. Most importantly, they stick considerably more. It's definitely more difficult to break them loose. They also ride much better. The V12 always seemed a bit "hard." The S-04 has a "softer," more comfortable ride without question. But, this is not by way of sacrificing grip or feel. Grip, feel and ride are all much better. The only thing I haven't tested yet is wet. But, I have a feeling they'll be better in the wet too. I'm very happy to have made this change.

Thanks.
