Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta

This is my first set of Vredisteins 295/35/18 back and 255/35/18 front...I've had about every named brand tire out there and I have to say these will not be beat.

Well it's hard form me to say how they wear because I've only driven around 1000 miles on them. I have to say they are fantastic performance tires. My e39 puts out about 410-415hp with the upgrades, so if I hammer her down it puts the tires to the test. I'm a pretty spirited driver and enjoy putting my stressing my tires to the limit...and that I have. Higher speed cornering on the on/off ramps are amazing. I took a friend out one night and he said if he had taken the curves at the speeds I took them, his jeep would have turned right over. When I take them to to limit that are amazingly balanced and when I force them to cut loose they are easy to get back into control. Pure 0-60 times have improved dramatically, although I still have a tough time in first gear with spinouts...lol but not near as bad as my michi's

For the price no other tire in the world competes with these as far as I'm concerned. Grade A/A+

Great Tyres compared to the Contential sport 2 would buy the Vreidsteins again

Coming off standard Bridgestones the RE040's had excellent dry grip and are superb for a track, but come wet weather and local roads they don't heat up as well and are far more slippy. So when they ran out recently i was looking for something that offered at excellent dry grip like the beidgestones, but i wanted better wet grip. i looked at the Flaken 452's and the toyo proxies both of which were good average tyres but not what i wanted. i have previously used toyo's on the last 2 cars and in my honest opinion the quality has dropped in them compared to the early tyres the company first came out with. the side walls are too soft, get nasty tyre roll on them in hard cornering. the falkens on the other hand seem to offer very good grip both dry and wet for the money, but after speaking to a friend who runs them on his car; they don't have a very progressive breakaway when pushed right on the limits. great tyre for a daily driver, but not if your track orientated. So after reading lots of reviews about this unknown tyre i'd never heard of i thought i would give them a try. i have been really pleased with them, straight out of the box even before completing a scrubbing in period they felt very good. the side walls offer similiar side wall stiffness to the bridgestones, there is no tyre roll i get excellent feedback through the steering wheel, they install me with confidence in the wet which the previous tyres never did. the road noise is equal to what i had with the bridgestones, but for me i'm more interested in grip and control than comfort. for the price and level of grip they offer these are fantastic tyres. the only tyre i see as a rival to these for the 350Z are the michelin pilot sport, but then they are nearly twice as expensive. if you have a high performance car these are a no brainer.

The grip in both wet and dry conditions is great. The tyres are a little soft but do give good feedback. The only problem I have found is that with spirited driving they do wear at an alarming rate.

I changed all 4 tyers on my Range Rover V8 from Pirelli Scorpion (noisy) to Vredestein, the change was instant, but the best thing is at 90mph (in europe)the only noise
is from the wing mirrors, and the wet and dry grip is fantastic, as the car now has road tyers, not mixed off/on road tyers, The car has now done 2 trips this year to Ibiza, in all weather conditions, so I think I can say they have had a propper testing by myself.
My BMW M5 is due its MOT in December and that will have 4 new Vredesteins fitted befor the test.

Had these after they where introduced from the ultrac, new at the time. Done around 6 track days on them and in the wet were superb, leaving a lot of other cars scrabbling. Dry grip is also superb, but on a very hot Donnington session, started going off. would and am buying again, for road use you can`t go wrong. Still on the same fronts though rears replaced

Just replaced my avon ZZ3`s with these....boy was I missing out...These are amazing in dry and blisteringly insane in the wet!! Defo buy again!

Got these to replace the now discontinued Ultrac. Was a bit doubtful at first as the Ultracs were fantastic tyres. But believe it or not these are even better. The first thing you will notice is the difference in road feedback; after the first 50 or so miles wet and dry grip is simply fabulous.
Highly recommended.

I replaced my old Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's with these and they are streets ahead in every way.

I think the ride is more comfortable than the F1 and the tyre breaks contact much later than the F1 used to under high speed cornering, whilst still returning enough feedback to the driver so they know it's going to happen.

Dry grip is outstanding - it's virtually impossible to unstick the car from the road unless you're really hammering it and driving in a bit of a crazed fashion lol.

Wet performance outshines the Goodyear dramatically, the previous skitterish slides and aquaplaning that I expericned with the Goodyears terrified me on occassion are gone - the Vredesteins are much much better, with good grip under cornering or in a straight line you'll stop quick (as long as your brakes work!).

To compare this tyre against a Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 is simply unfair; Assymetrics perhaps but then they're about £20 more per tyre, and apparently suffer more for wear so I hear on forums.
