Kumhos: W-rated vs. V-rated?

Has anyone tried both of the speed ratings for the Kumho 712? I am guessing most people have the slightly less sticky v-rated ones, right? Any opinions on the W-rated?

I have the W-rated Kumhos. I've never tried the V-rated so I cannot really compare...

I've got the W-rated on my car and have driven TravisEK's car with the V-rated and couldn't tell much of a difference. I guess this doesn't really help since they are two totally different cars but the point is both seem relatively sticky and have worn well. HTH
