As such, there will always be compromises on comfort and noise levels with the latter. I've had them previously too - They're pretty good tyres I must say! Good grip in dry and wet, although the downside is that the wear rate is pretty high - If you managed to last 53K with your T005A, you'll probably find that the S007As will probably last around 35K to 38Ks tops. But despite the wear, the grip's still pretty good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnahp Supercharged October 28, 2020 Share October 28, 2020 mini review after 1,500km non expressway driving is harsher, rolling noise is very minimum but the stiffer sidewall really transfer road irregularities into the cabin expressway driving, this is where the S007A shines, steering feel is much sharpen, the car tracks so much better, very confidence inspiring my wife (the numb one) has the same feedback as me, I quote her words - the car feels heavier and stick on the ground ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
