You always get a bit of noise from directional tyres. The quiet ones tend to be asymmetric with circumferential grooves 1976 Mini 1000 FWD R1 - 13.2@104

OK, sounds like A032's are the ones to go for then.

I wouldn't bother with a032rs for 'fairly sensible' driving or commuting etc mate, they wear out pretty fast as they're so soft, maybe you could see if you get get them in a harder compound than the usual as i think they do hard, soft and super soft.

Just make sure you get S Rated tyres if it's a road car. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I'd get the A032's then when they wear out decide if you can live with them only lasting 5k or so a set. If so wonderful, if not try the alternatives. :) If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

In all honesty, I'd rather change tyres a bit more frequently if they give me better grip in all road conditions. I kind of see the point of view of "if it's not a track car, you don't need expensive tyres", but if it's a daily (all weather) car, then surely tyres are just as, if not more important. Especially as it may be putting twice the power and torque down than the standard 1275.. Or you could just drive sensibly.. I don't see why you would be getting near the limits of a tyre on the road in the first place really.. |

It's not really about that. If the A032 is better in the wet than the A008 then they are the safer choice to go for!
