Subaru Impreza WRX STI Tire Review Highlights
I've ran the eagle f1 asymmetric 5's for the last few years, they were fantastic tires, great in the dry, decent in the wet and were good to drive from cold. I've ran the 6's for over 6k miles and disliked them since the beginning, take too long to warm up, huge amounts of road noise and feedback, and feel loose in any sort of wet weather, a huge disappointment from the 5's.

Absolutely BEST tire for the price. My background has mainly been track driving and open windy county roads. These tires did not disappoint. Having tried RE003’s and PS4’s. For the price you really can’t complain.. extremely handing in both wet and dry conditions. More comfortable driving at higher speeds and cornering in the dry, they just want to keep gripping the road. Wet road driving they also preform phenomenally. I’m not really the person to drive my car in the wet as this is a dry weekend warrior or track car only. But having rained and back windy roads you always wanna see what your tires can do and hope for the best haha. But all seriousness it’s a excellent tire even compared to newer and “improved” tires but other big manufacturers. 10/10 would buy again.

Awesome tire for the price I paid. Quite surprised in the Edmonton weather snow storms had nothing on me with these tires on. Would recommend to buy again and others to try them out.

Very leary at first because of the price but they look great and ride great. Got to test them in a bad rain storm and they cut through the water like butter…..last test will come this winter

I have this tire for a year and 8 months. The grip is phenomenal on dry but on wet not that great. But they are expensive tires.

Fit this tire with purchase of low price. I have reviewed the summer test and the dry grip result seems to be one of the best. The wet grip on summer tire test result came out bad but there was no skidding nor bad aquaplaning. Sport S1 does the job very well, i have gotten a good quality tire at low price!

My car is subaru gc8 with 280 bhp. Use S007A for trackday was very impressive than RE003 in dry surface. The lap time even more than 3 seconds faster. There is no obvious heat problem after 30 minutes running.
For road use, it's similar with RE003, not so comfortable, feeling of resistance when encountering stagnant water. Should be better driving carefully in rainy day.

They're great on the dry with a lot of grip, but they're terrible on the wet. Aquaplaning is quite dangerous. They're cheap compare to other semi slicks (200 tread wear). Changed these tires because they're cracking and split sidewall after 3 years, even though had travelled less than 10,000. Sidewall literally crumbles like parmesan.
They're good if you used them for track day car and use them up very quickly for a couple laps until they're bald, but do not buy them for your everyday car because they will not last long (mileage or age of the tires).

Hands down the best performing tire in snow and ice I've ever used. On snow they are genuinely like a summer tire in the wet. There is a very steep hill leading into my village and I can stop on the steepest point in deep snow and pull away again without spinning a wheel. Breaking on the snow and ice is just as good. Steering is millimetre perfect also. Used these tires for two winters now and put around 7k miles on them and they are barely worn at all. They are also fantastic on cold and wet roads standing water is of no concern. My only complaint about them is that they feel quite unstable at 'high' speed in the dry and feel a bit floaty. However despite this they have handled any emergency manoeuvres with ease and have never let the car get out of control. 100% will buy again without a seconds hesitation.

Very strong grip, one of the best semi-slick tire on the market I ‘ve tried (dry road)
Take one turn to warm it
Use at 29 psi hot tire pressure
I recommend it for sure and I will buy it again
Didn't try on the wet but I won't recommend

I've had 2 sets of the previous Ad08r compound on the car before for road/ track use and 2 trips to the Nurburgring and they were excellent but the new Ad08rs tire is not as good , the compound is a lot harder and I thought the car struggled with dry grip at the Nurburgring this time around , the car lacked the confidence the previous R compound gave .
I will be looking else where for a Trackday tire in the future I'm sad to say
