To add, because people know I have been running the sessantas since July, I was asked about the pattern of the tyre as it appears that when fitted the pattern is not symetrical. See below.
This is taken from the link below which explains the reasons for this.

An innovative feature of the Ultrac Sessanta is the single wide circumferential groove placed in an asymmetric posit ion on the inside of the tread. Curved secondary grooves running next to the circumferential groove gradually bend away towards the outer edge of the tread, giving the Ultrac Sessanta a completely unique footprint. Outside the footprint, the grooves, with the obvious exception of the circumferential one, branch off towards the outside of the tyre. The sloping circumferential grooves are never entirely wi thin the contact area. The footprint therefore has four circumferential grooves, three of which are at a small angle. Vredestein calls this innovation Sophisticated Longitudinal Design (SLD). Although the ingenious system makes the Ultrac Sessanta asymmetric, it also avoids the need for direction specific tyres, eliminating left and right versions. The tread also makes the tyre extraordinarily quiet. Excellent handling performance was another major goal during the development of the Ultrac Sessanta. The tyre provides exceptional handling qualities on both dry and wet roads. This was achieved through the asymmetric design of the tread, a new HTTC compound, a special substructure of the tread, and rigid lateral and shoulder construction according to the HTS+ principle.
