2 New Rear RE050's or 4 new Ventus V12 K110?
My car currently has 2 nearly new RE050s on the front and a set of worn BFG G Force Sports on the back in stock 17" sizes (that way when I bought it). The price on two rear RE050s and 4 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110's is pretty close. I don't plan on tracking the car, maybe an autocross here or there but not a regular basis, so I don't think I need RS3's or Star Specs. I'm not really concerned about road noise, however I am concerned about wet traction.
Has anyone owned both RE050s and V12's and can give my their thoughts? I'm leaning toward the Hankooks. I'm thinking I could get a few bucks for my existing RE050s which would make getting the Hankooks an even better deal.

Driven on both and the hankooks are a better tire in literally every category and they are so much cheaper. Why dont you just keep your re050s up front and run the hankooks at the back? You will never notice a difference just driving the car normally and you would be fine doing an autocross here and there.
