Anyone have experience of these tyres,I currently use Pilot PS2's but have been told the Sessantas are nearly as good for alot less.
Can anyone shed some light on this.

TIA

 

Ive been running the sessanta on my Spec C for over a year now and they are probably the best value tyre on the market in terms of cost and performance.They are as good if not better than the goodyear F1 Assymetrics but cost much less.They perform well in all conditions and i would recommend them to anyone

 

^ +1 PS2's are nice but not £200+ a set nicer !!!

 

yeah great tyres for the money.everyone seems to like them.buy them you wont be dissapointed..

 

i have used these,excellent tyres for not a lot of money.

 

Have heard nothing but good things about them,and gone through hours of tyre reviews and they score very well.
Will be buying some in next few weeks.

 

Had a set fitted yesterday (225 40 18, £96 a corner all in), early days yet but they already feel miles better than the P Zero Nero's they replaced.

 

Used to have the Ultracs on my old scoob, they were fantastic rubber. Going back to them once I've worn the Yoko's out.

Word of warning, they seem to require higher tyre pressures.

 

Got them on my STi, they are excellent the strengthened XL sidewalls make a big difference in feel n cornering precision.

 

Also read on some tyre reviews that the first 50 miles can be slippery.
Once there bedded in,there awsome....

 

That's the same for most if not all tyres as you scrub the **** off the surface

 

i have been led to believe that these are the best all round alternative to re070 potenzas and eagle F1s. they are better in the wet than re070s, and warm quicker than Eagle F1s. (so i have heard), highly rated though regardless.

 

I can tell you that they most definately do not warm quicker than the F1's.
But they outperform the F1's easily.

I think the higher tyre pressures is a myth?
OK - yes their site suggests a higher pressure, but the place that fitted mine put them at 34psi if I remember correctly.

 

they are brilliant got 4 on my classic had eagle f1s before and i didnt think i could get better, but the GY E f1 just coudnt grip on snow. the vredistiens although there not a winter tyre they do a decent job. there brilliant in the wet. even better in the dry.

 

i can definately say a really good tyre !! had a new set of ultracs fitted to my rb5 and amazed at the grip !!

 

Another vote! They are a great tyre

 

Totally agree with Simon. Best tyres i've had on the scoob. Great in the dry and very very good in the wet. Went for 235s. 40 PSI Front & 38 Rear. (Sounds high but the Vredestein website recomends even higher)

 

Wish I'd have read this before I purchased a set of Yokohama Parada's. Although I cannot fault the Yokos so far I find them very very grippy. Can the Vreds really be that much of a an improvement?

 

Had Prada's before and the answer to that is...........................100% YES

 

had these on my last sti and must say i drove it to the ring and back, got quite a few laps in on them (even 3 1/2 consecutive ones) and not a thing wrong with them, loved them.

 

sorry to put a dampner on things but they arent the best looking of tyres
they look like they are on the wrong way round or is it just me?

 

I know what you mean, i hate it when my tyres look rubbish.

 

OMG I'm going to have to buy good looking remoulds with a nice pattern

 

Standard ultrac was funky looking also

 

thats not wot i meant scooby who sorry do
goodyears as good bit more money but look miles betterremoulds ****
oh and people have heard of em no just me then
