My current use is non-competitive track days, and that odd 275/45 18" size is equivalent to the OD of the OEM 20" tires. The S0007A is 240TW, and TireRack has them in the Extreme category, but as expected they're much less grippy than 200TW tires. A lot more void space, and on track felt best when driven at eight 10ths. But, they didn't chunk apart and the NVH is an improvement over all 200TW except A052s (which I thought were damn good on the street). They'd be excellent for someone who wants a street & track tire, and who doesn't push hard on the track.

I was going to get these when I thought I was getting some 18" wheels for daily driving, but the deal fell through and I'm still on the 20s. It was a deal that would be too hard to pass up if I had bought the wheels. I'm still very happy with the a/s 3+ I use on the 20's, just hate 20" wheels.
