Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Reviews:

Given 97% (breakdown) while driving a BMW E46 330D Sport (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
These are really impressionant tyres with excelent grip in both dry and wet conditions.
I like them too because of progression and feedback. Even the road noise is good (low).
The thread os wearing evenly and I didn't have problemas like the ones withr Goodyear Eagle F1 witch became warped.
The bad points of this tyre? Only one: the wear rate isn't great but it's OK for a tyre of this grade (ultra high performance)

Given 89% (breakdown) while driving a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 tdi (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 3,000 average miles
So far I have only driven on these for close to 3k miles. But am really impressed with these. The grip is excellent in both dry and wet conditions.

The car came with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A fitted. I was never really comfortable with these for grip and also found they tramlined (This is also greatly improved with the Vredesteins). Only a few more K-miles will see if they are good in terms of wear.

Given 70% (breakdown) while driving a BMW E46 330ia (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Rear tyres were bald in 10k miles of mature yet fast motoring. Fronts lasting well, probably twice as long. This makes me sound like an aggressive chavvy wheelspin fan, but I'm not.

I have the ASC on all the time. It could be due to tyre pressure, as I found they leak a lot on my Alpina/BBS rims, I chekc the pressure fortnightly. Car is a 99 3.3 E46 Alpina B3 saloon.

Given 81% (breakdown) while driving a BMW 530D (245-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 11,000 spirited miles
Dry and wet grip is excellent, plenty of progression and warning. Feedback and feel are fine. Copes very well with standing water. Noise is good. A very significant upgrade to Goodyear NCT5 RFT I used previously. Wear is consistent across the tread. Only downsides are wear rate which I would class as poor-medium, as it has only lasted 11k miles before they need to be changed, this is mitigated by the fact they're much cheaper, about 55% of the RFT. Also grip is awful in snow, but that has been the case for any decent summer tyre.

Amazing, fantastic wet grip and dry grip, with my car I used to have the Continental, but these are far better.

Given 87% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
The 95Y tyres have good sidewall support and seem to create an extra damping effect thereby improving ride. The car is more "pointy" after the soggy sided Toyos. I still have pimples left on the tyres after 2000 miles so good for wear, I think. Grip is solid no matter what the weather. No squeeling. They are excellent value and look amazing. The only problem is availability. If you decide to get them, order in advance.

Driving on a combination of roads for 21,000 spirited miles
Superb tyre from an unknown brand wet, dry grip is excellent and the wear rate superb!

Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stop giving these tyres such a good rating! As when these were first released, since then prices have steadily crept up!

Given 95% (breakdown) while driving a BMW 530D (275-30-19-V)
Driving on mostly motorways for 150,000 spirited miles
Drive a BMW 5 series which likes to rip through tyres..recently added front to match back and i am blown away how good these are?? i am not joking where i say wet grip is nearly as good as dry grip? Some peopple say these are a mid range tyre but these knock the conti's BMW fit the car with? Early signs on wear is fab, will buy again and certinly recommend? Well done Vredestein.

Given 87% (breakdown) while driving a Nissan 350z (245-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
I saw a few reviews of this tyre for the 350z knocking about the web as I was looking to replace my stock rear bridgestones. Although I had never heard of this tyre make I went for it after reading pretty good things.

For the first 300/400ish miles they were like candle wax. I had to be really soft with them as the rear end felt like it was about to fly out all the time. Starting from lights I had to crawl away to stop them slipping.

Even after this rocky start of a wear in period things really started to pick up.

The dry grip is amazing.
My 350z is modded to about 370bhp and even with traction control off and gunning the engine it’s hard to get the wheels to really spin now. Dry grip and breakaway is far better than the bridgestones hands down.

Cornering in the dry is decent, I find a TINY bit more tyre roll then the bridgestones but you only notice it if you are hammering it.

The wet grip is unreal.
Honestly after the tyres heat up a little you just can’t fault it for the price. Out of all the cars I have had the only other tyre with the same wet grip has been the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's and they are twice the price.

Overall an amazing tyre and an excellent price. I had mine installed for £131 per tyre/fitted which is cheaper than even putting stock bridgestones back on.

On a sidenote the tread pattern looks really nice on the car too.
