After stepping up from 215/40R17s (SA-07'S As Well) which only got 12,000ks.. (I drive hard over twisty windy roads at highway speeds) The size difference has slowed the wear down. I've already done 10,000ks and still have 6mm left on them :) Excellent dry and wet grip, Done a few snow days with them and couldn't fault them although I did naturally drive slower lol. Only sudden lose of grip I've had was going round a corner at speed hit a Unmarked gravel patch and the rear started sliding. But as soon as I hit tarmac again it regained grip really fast :) I've always ran these tyres on 40 psi but I do have a station wagon... Side note my car has Bilstein suspension so I can get away with spirited driving so I am not sure if this review is applicable to normal suspension
