Buddy, you are missing the point. It is a direct tire comparison. Do you think if they take the same tires on put them on a C55, you would end up with a different result??? Go to your local autoX events, see what tires the hot cars are running. I don't care if it's a GTR, Exige, STI or S2000. The fastest street tire cars are either running Khumo or Dunlop or they are on R compound tires.

S55 AMG
I just bought a pair of V12's for the rear of my S55. So far they are working well. They seem to warm up a little slow, but that's good for tread life I guess. They're not noisey, and do well in the rain. I think they are an over all good buy. I'd do it again.
