I've never used winter tyres before and thought they were just 4 snow but this is amazing dry wet and physics defying in snow!!!!!

ive been driving now for 22yrs and i can honestly say they are by far the best tyres ive ever experienced ,especially in wet conditions they hold the road exceptionally well.travelling has become more comfortable compared to other tyres would highly recommend and certainly buy again .FIRST CLASS************

The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is a truly fantastic tyre. They stick you to the road in wet and dry conditions and are quite long lasting, depending on your style of driving of course.
I'm due a new set of tires and will most definitely be going for 4 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's. They blow alot og big brand tires like Goodyear Eagle F1s (GSD3s) straight out of the water
Awesome Tyre!

I'm 48 and these are the best tires I have ever had for cornering and general performance. Plenty of warning before they break in the corners. Reasonable in the rain and only hydroplane when conditions are extreme. In snow they have gotten me home but generally run studded snow tires on the front. I want to buy another set but having difficulty finding anyone who carries them.

Amazing tyre! Far better than Conti Sport Contact 2's and 3's I have had! Car chipped to 240bhp, the Conti's would spin in 2nd on a wet road under full power, the PS2 just grip - I'm blown away by the difference. They are more comfortable and quiet by far, yet give amazing feedback around the bends. Straight line breaking wet or dry is spot on as well. 3000 miles of mixed driving and no noticeable drop in performance or tread depth. I've had the Conti's on 3 Golf's now, just replacing them with the same each time - what a mistake I wish I had made the move to PS2's earlier! Can't recommend them enough and no I don't work for Michelin before you ask - just pleased to be able to report about a tyre the performs far better than the rest (on a front wheel drive Golf Mk5)!

michelin piliot alpin the best allseason tyre on the market extremly long lasting considerin my style of driving realy even wear compared to other competetors on the market such as vredstein which wears heavily on the shoulders of the tyre limiting ultimate milage.
michelin alpin has the technology of michelin a higher carbon content which makes the tyre slightly harder but doubles the milage.. a must buy...

Used mainly on B-roads and also used on the track. Great grip for the price. Will be buying again.

reviewing these again after 20k miles. in that time theyve been back on track again, regularly thrashed hard on b roads and driven on motorways for thousnds of miles.
its time to change again as theyre just above the markers and ive got to take the car to le mans and i dont think the french would be too impressed with 2mm of tyre tread (even wear, but thatll be due to suspension geometry)
the tyre performed consistently right through to the end of its life. the tyres inspire so much confidence that i got a set for my gf's 05 fiesta when that was due.
in hard use you might be left wanting a little more grip in the dry, but thats only at 8/10 - 9/10 driving, you dont do that often.
in the wet they never feel phased. on the odd time ive had to lean on them a little bit harder than expected ive been impressed, most memorable would be the cat and fiddle pass when it was so wet there was water streaming across the road and you could still really push on.
road noise in my gf's fiesta was massively reduced compared to the contis it had before, but in my golf ive modified it too much to really appreciate reductions in road noise.
i highly recommend these, id have another set if i didnt like trying new things so much, but the fact i put some on my girlfriend's car ought to speak volumes.
definately a performance bargain
