Worst winter tires. I buy set of 4 and replaced Fulda, bcoz I find them at very good price. On deep, heavy snow Petlas is very good, like on dry road. On wet is so bad, no grip, very hard to control and braking is just disaster! After a one season I replace that tires.

I posted a review a few days ago but i can't find it.... Mayby Vredestein delete this ??

I speak about this Vredestein Ultrac Satin. 215-45-17 Extra Load tire.

I'm not happy with this tire. I Bought it last week but i have to regret. The side-wall is very soft.

I'f i go with a normal speed around the corner, there is no stress. No complains. When i have more speed on the same corner, the tires are very weak. The side of the tire feeds into a bend which makes the car feel swaby. It feels like you have worn shock absorbers, or at least the rear of the car wants to slip away.

Maybe I can exchange the tires for better at the garage

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU39 given 91% (215-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 spirited miles

I'm writing this via google translate as my english is not that good.

I ordered these tires as a friend recommended them. He even drove on the track and these tires, the Kumho Escta Le Sport (KU39) were great tires for street use and possibly a roundabout circuit.

The tires have almost no limit on dry asphalt if they are well-driven. Can bend very hard without losing my grip. Rather; Never lost grip. The tires are somewhat uncomfortable, but I knew that because the XL version was ordered. Also at high speeds, 200km / h the tire gives a lot of feedback and keeps handling, for example, to send left / right to pass a car without the tires getting sluggish, giving you a safe feeling.

Be very satisfied with these Kumho's on dry roads.

On wet roads, the Kumho's also have sufficient grip on bends. Only what I find so strange is that the tires have enough grip on a normal wet road. And lose their grip on aquaplaning and give you an unsafe feeling.

That's the only thing to complain about.

Have the tires now 20.000miles. And there is still a profile. So the wear is very good.

This was the 3rd winter on these tires, and I can only say good thing about them.
The really astonishing thing is, that I can do 4.1 avarage consumption with an Alfa 147 1.9 JTDM, while in teh summer I can't go below 4.6 with Vredestein Sportrac 3 (205/60/R15), so rolling resistance is also remarkable!
