Beware the S007…

I missed this tread (searching “tire” instead of “tyre”), but I do want to add my own personal experience and warning… on my M850i, a front S007 had corded on the far inner shoulder with less than 9k miles. Treadwear indicators are useless, as this failure occurs way out at the sidewall edge. Like a previous poster, I felt the inner edges on my fronts with my bare hands and was rewarded with a few torn steel belt abrasions.

I believe the S007 in OEM sizes (and alignment) is a dangerously insufficient tire for the 8 series.
