Initial thoughts;
Given how the tires have less than 50 miles, things are going to change.
Initial impressions are good, compared to the Michellin A/S 4s, they are quieter.
With the current alignment settings which have a focus on Auto-X (-3.5 Front / -2.9 Rear), steering is super sharp to the point where I had to relearn how much input I give the car when turning or switching lanes.
Grip is good, but it doesn't inspire too much confidence compared to the Michellins, probably because how sharp steering is.
It does also take the car a little longer to get up to highway speed as if the tire needs additional time to warm up and grip, whereas the former tires, by the time I got the highway, I could get on the gas and hit 75MPH in a heartbeat.
On the topic of sharpness, it could be that this tire does not like aggressive camber and it could probably improve once I got back to a more OEM alignment.
Cruising speed at 70-75MPH is soft and quiet, it can also develop more speed without feeling to many vibrations as compared to the former tires.
There is no rain forecasted for a little bit so I'll have to wait for that.
