Figured I could give some good input for anyone looking at these in the future:
These tires were on the car when I bought it in December 2014. They had a good amount of tread left at the time.
However, 12k miles later I do not recommend this tire. I'm not an overly aggressive driver by any means and am already past the wear strips, nearly bald in the rear.
In warm-hot weather (75+ degrees) they grip well, but take a good amount of time to warm up at any temperature below. They sidewalls are also relatively stiff, so I wouldn't recommend for autoX unless you're okay with airing them down a lot.
Fun if you don't want a maximum grip summer and don't mind some opposite lock, but on a pure-grip application these tires inspire no confidence. Not bad for other cars with taller aspect ratios, but at sizes 40/35 there are better options.
