Yeah I always get the name mixed up ... I'm fussy with tyres and I've got some good friends that have done substancial track work, nurburgring, etc on these tyres and also rate them.

It's why I tried them and for the money you wont buy a better tyre... £50 per corner to me :D

I do fancy trying the Vredstein Sessana (or whatever they called) next though!

(I have a tyre fetish)

im using the vredestein ultrac sessanta and think they are outstanding. you wont regret the choice.

the handling in wet is superb (probably best tyre i have used) as it grips so much in the wet.
dry performance is very good also and always have tons of grip.

the 'let go' on these tyres is very progressive too. they slowly give, giving a nice controlled feeling and pleanty of notice to ease off the power if you dont want to slide.

btw im driving a 2.2 i-cdti thats re-mapped to 190bhp and around 300 flb torque, so its not exactly a slow / light car
