W007/8 has been designed specifically with the PCCB rotors in mind. And so I think you’ll find that you’ll definitely see a prolonged pad and rotor life compared to the P40’s. We couldn’t give you an exact estimate on the actual wear because it will vary, but to give you a general idea… W007 was derived from our MA45B compound which is our primary endurance compound, so it’s very gentle on the rotors offering the best life possible for the pads and the rotors alike.

A Porsche team in Europe actually ran tests comparing the P40 to the MA45B and they found that the wear rates on the rotors and the pads was significantly better. I’d say roughly about 3 to 4 times better. So we feel that W007 would be the best way to go as far as the wear and performance is concerned. With the W008, our concern would be that they may be slightly more aggressive and so you would go back to seeing similar wear rates to what you’re currently seeing with the P40’s which may end up requiring new rotors down the line.
