Ya.. But to me that's where street tire vs track tire are defined.

At the time the s04 rated higher for traction vs tread wear then the hankooks.

But not as good as continentals or Michelins.

But sidewall stiffness is also important.. The stiffer the sidewall... The less grip you will have. The v12s have a soft sidewall.. More grip. Good for fwd. Where my s04s have a stiffer sidewall. The stiffer sidewall corners better. Since us awd guys have better grip anyway... We can sacrifice the tire grip.. For better handling.
