Autogrip F107 tires were newly fittted to a WK Statesman I bought which had 100 Klms when I took delivery. This is an ex GMH executive driven vehicle, by the way, so everything about this car is first class - except for the 'ride' as I have come to find out. To this day, I have no idea who manufacturers the Autogrip F107, the absolute worst tire I have ever had on a car and I have had over 40 cars including sports cars. The wear is absolutely uneven, one tire has become so square it destroyed a tie rod end bushing due to its up and down movement under load/rotation. While the overall wear factor is acceptable for mileage, the uneveness of the wear is spectacular as stated previously. The road noise from these tires is completely unacceptable to me and the ride might be acceptable if I was in a truck. Fact is, my Statesman is a long wheel base 4,000 Lbs car which is designed to ride like a limo. But I can assure everyone it does not, moreover it rides like a truck. These tires will be replaced ASAP and again, if I knew who made them I would give them a piece of my mind. They are rubbish tires to put it mildly.
