Forget the OEM spec conti sport contacts these are alot cheaper and alot better. I used to feel that the conti's were good in snow and rain however on bends they would feel like they contributed to bodyroll with soft side walls. Vreds are awesome for the more sport orientated driver.

Replaced Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics with these. Against the F1 they are slightly quieter, wet traction is slightly worse, everything else on a par. This is a huge complement because I really rate the F1s and on balance these are equals at 60% of the cost

Having bought a used BMW525d with Pirrelli run flats I was at the point of selling the car due to the awful comfort/ride experience. The Vredesteins have made a HUGE difference to the ride experience. Only issue is that I have no spare only a can to trust if I get a blowout. BMW should be hugely embarrassed by this, as I would never buy a new BMW with Run flats.

I absolutely love these tires, immense grip in dry & wet after the break in period which was around 750miles for me, stiff side walls which don't feel like there going to roll off the rim like the standard conti sc2's did round corners (RARB Helps). Can't say as iv'e ever noticed any road noise but thats prob down to the Remus Exaust. Road feedback can't fault either. The only minus that I can give these is the wear rate, mixed driving of fast road and slow town driving, looking at around 7k-11k from powerfull FWD cars but a lot better than toyo's. These also cut the snow we had in 2010 like butter which being a summer tire was very very impressive. Havn't ever fitted them to the rears but imagine an easy 20k-25k would be achievable, soon as my conti's have worn out, the vredy's are going straight on the back. Not even going to consider ps2's or eagle f1's for twice the price for minimal + results. But the vredy's are catching on now and are slowly creeping up in price.

I had terrible cheapo tires on my car from when i purchased the car and grip levels in all conditions where terrible as soon as I fitted the Vredestein, what a transformation, in the dry excellent, in the wet amazing and having done now 8k miles the tires still look like new! I have noticed a little more noise at speed, very high speed but other than that are amazing, would definitely buy again, found an outlet that fitted them for £400, oh and dont forget you get an unlimited warranty with them.....

Just changed the run flats on my Z4 to the Ultrac Sessanta after reading the reviews - best thing Ive ever done. The car feels so much better than it did. Only problem was tracking down a supplier in South Wales, but a bit of searching on the Net and I found one in Newport.. Just over £500 for a full set.

I originally had run flat tires on my BMW 330d M Sport, they were terrible, I fitted VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA's and they tranformed the car, the ride is smoother, the handling is awesome (although a little slippery in the wet - when pushed) but cannot fault for the price, would definately buy again and recommend!

Excellent tires, superb wet grip and great in the dry. Better in the wet than the goodyear asymetrics that were fitted before.
Had these fitted to a front wheel drive and now a rear wheel drive altezza, i wont use any other tires on my road car now...untill vredestein bring out an improved version.

these replaced my Conti sport contact 3 - The difference is amazing and was noticed within a few miles.
The Car tracks much better than ever, they are quite and really feel great.
My dealer suggested I try these and after reading the reviews on here I'm glad I did.
I drive high mileage and will report back after a good few months but they seem promising.

I went across IRELAND and to the UK when all the speed traps where turned off in the summer and boy did i have fun,took my two sons and drove over 1500miles in rain and sun and the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta never failed me once,
Only thing was the noise at high speed if the window was open but its a tire that makes ya SMILE :-)
its snowing for a week here in IRELAND and my Vredesteins a cutting trough the snow like knifes? not bad for a summer tire.
