If rain is a concern I would go with the Dunlop Z2, they will be just as good if not better than the z1. The RS3 is on an entirely different level than the V12 as a *track* tire. If these wheels/tires will be for track days then no question you should go with the RS3, or some other extreme performance tire. The V12 will not even compare as far as grip is concerned. All tires on the track will take a beating. The V12 will wear less on the street, but I really don't know if they will wear that much better than the RS3 in a track only scenario.

If cost is a concern I would take a look at the Federal 595RSR. Limited info on these, but they are in the extreme performance category and the price undercuts the competition. From what little I was able to read about them, they are not quite on the same level as the RS3/Z1,Z2/other extreme performance tires.
