Driving on mostly country roads for 14,000 spirited miles
very impressive tyre. grips very well in wet or the dry. much more progressive handing and breakaway in comparison to Eagle F1's and an all round better tyre. swapped now to bridgstone re050 tyres and are very similar in performance

Driving on mostly country roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I bought a full set of these after knowing how good the other vredestein range has been on my previous cars. They gave absolute grip in absolute all conditions. Under heavy breaking they do sound like they are going to lock at anytime (like wheel bearings) but never done. Supprised by how good these were in the snow after dropping the tyre pressures to 25psi alround.
These tyres are ultimate performance tyres and I used to drive like I stole the car but 7000 miles for rears and 10000 for fronts was a bit excessive. I really don't think other types would have lasted longer. Even with my execessive wear I would not use anything else.

Given 100% (breakdown) while driving a Honda Civic Type R (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30,000 spirited miles
I thought this was a budget tyre with a fancy tread pattern.............. was so wrong in the end and surprised! fantastic in the dry and especially in the wet, nice stiff sidewalls for good cornering and tread that wears well and the price of this tyre is so competitive puts so called premium brands to shame! Its almost half price of the premium competetion and better than most I tried this includes Eagle F1A, Continental CSC3 etc!

Given 90% (breakdown) while driving a Audi A4 Avante 2.0ltr tdi (235-40-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1,500 spirited miles
After suffering a neck/shoulder injury which meant complete resting etc put me out of work since May 09,I had to look around for a set of tyres to replace my Michelin PS2s.Not feeling particularly 'flush'[no income being self employed]I decided on the Sessanter because of the very atractive price and also the look of it. Glad I made the choice I did!At just under £400 for the set,fitted/balanced,I really am rather impressed,excellent dry grip with grip/traction way above that of my beloved PS2s in rain or snow.Only thing I do find is the difference in grip between left a right hand corners,only a very marginal difference that makes me think that if this tyre were made in a Left and Right hand mould instead of the 'uniform' single mould,I feel sure this annomoly would be dialed out.Still an outstanding tyre though,go back to PS2s? No chance!

Driving on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
These tyres replaced the shocking fk452's that were on car when i purchased it.Iknow they had good reviews but that must have been from deaf people!noise under braking was shocking,etc,etc.ANYWAY!the change was a revelation,quiet,grippy in dry and as good as most in the wet.the main thing is the feedback,i now feel back in control and feel i can push her as hard as i like into bends and not mess my pants in the process.Good price too,£84:95 each from CAMSKILL.Wear is not looking bad so far.ALONG WITH EDAM,TULIPS,AND THE BICYCLE,ANOTHER GREAT THING ABOUT THE DUTCH-VREDESTIEN!!

Replaced front Michelin Primacys with Sessantas last week on my big diesel C6. An immense improvement, particularly steering feel and response. Also much quieter than Michelins. Do check inflation pressures, as Michelin recommend 25psi for Primacys wheras Vredstien website recommends 35psi for Sessantas.

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Jaguar S Type 2.7D (245-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
The Ultrac Sessanta's replaced the dreadful accelera tyres that came on the rear axle of the car which has P zero assymetrico on the front, the change has been a revelation Grip comfort and feel has been much improved and they are certainly quieter than the P Zero's and given that the Jag is rear wheel drive they are wearing much better than the Pirelli's. There was however one road surface where they nade quite a strange noise. All in all great tyre and great value.

Given 90% (breakdown) while driving a Mazda RX8 (225-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
After researching dozens of decent quality tyres from prices of £100 through to £200 reading these reviews on here and loads of others, these were the tyres i ended up getting and i cannot reccommend them enough, i have them on the front and without doubt will be replacing the rear later this month with the same, brilliant in dry and wet, ive done 6000 miles and they still look new and handle far better then any tyre ive used before of the same spec. Ive really thrown my car around on country roads pushing harder then is sensible to be honest and not once did it give the slightest indication it was struggling, even in the snow and slush ive gone exactly where ive wanted to be. a friend of mine whos runs a BMW 330 clubsport who is a diehard eagle F1 fan really pushed them and afterwards reluctantly admitted there were as good as his, i bought them for £230 a pair including delivery from hull (im in kent) so with hindsight great value for at least another 18 months to two yrs of life left. i have done the hardwork, ive researched spent hrs over many nights reading and checking and comparing and now from experience say dont waste any more time, get these...
