Default 3 x Vredestein Ultrac... 235-40-18 -------- £150

Hey guys,

I have 3 of these for sale, the 4th is damaged im affraid.

These have approx 2000 miles use on them and lots and lots of tread left, i will measure them later but expect about 6/7mm.

These are £165 each RRP.

Stunning tyres of which im reluctant to sell, however sourcing new ones is now a problem and im being asked to swap out for some differnt stuff to test.

£150 + P&P

Mine are 225/45/18 mate...and Zak just sourced the replacements. Maybe I should have ditched the back and tried something different all round.

I'll chuck in the 4th tyre for free, although it has slight damage it still holds pressure fine and caould be used if need be.

Wear on the 4th tyre is the same as the rest...

Excellent.

Frayz, how come you chose 235 size tyres over the "normal" 225's? Did you notice any difference in tracking or tramlining?

Only cos they fill the wheel better mate and provide a little extra grip.

They look much better on the car than the 225s imo.

Would you accept £135 cash and I could collect tomorrow night or Saturday morning depending where you are in Essex

Also could you post a picture up of the 4th tyre that has slight damage and did you drive around with damage to the tyre without any problems?

I'm purchasing new alloys tomorrow so on the look out for 4 tyres that have a good performance background.

Once my new alloys and tyres are fitted I'll introduce myself properly as at the mo the cars spoilt by the knackered BK121's from the previous owner.

I did drive on the 4th mate and it held pressure fine. However i cannot say that it is safe to do so. It has a small split in the rubber on the bead protector but has not touched any of the tyre carcase or webbing area.

Unfortunately the tyres are not here with me so i cannot take any pics to upload. These are £165 each new mate and all have lots and lots of tread left. So i really want the £150 asking price please. These are easilly worth £150 just for the 3 but ill give away the 4th anyway.

Colection is not a problem

Please let me know more if youre interested.
