To raise everyone's awareness of the excellent new tyre from Vredestein we have these on offer until the end of the month, or until stocks last.



Coming a highly comendable 2nd place in this years EVO tyre tests scoring an overall 95.3%, the Ultrac Sessanta was the choice of both EVO testers, Jethro Bovingdon and John Barker, on the road.

From EVO's wet handling test
'it was the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta that proved the tester's favourite. "Superb," said Bovingdon. "Heavy steering but backed up by strong turn-in and the ability to give more bite if you need it. Very good traction"'

From EVO's aquaplane testing
'In the straight line test, the majority of the tyres are within 5% of the Dunlop's performance, but on the wetted curve the spread is much higher, though this is largely due to an exceptional performance from the Vredestein. A star performer in the wet handling tests, the 'Giugiaro Design' Ultrac Sessanta leaves the rest in it's wake, the Bridgestone being the best of the rest some 17% down."

Testing was carried out using 225/45/17 on a VW Golf GTi

235/40/18 - £89.30

225/45/17 - £78.73

Dude thats cheap !

 

Can anyone tell me if these are any good?

I haven't got evo but am interested in what people think.

Cheers.

 

Yes they are superb.

I had Mich PS2's before at £150 a tyre which I was really pleased with.
I am finding the sessantas much better, and at £89.30 these are a steal !
In fact £89.30 is less than I got them for in July and I thought I did well then.

 

I was going to wait to get my 18" Redlines + Tyres (toyo Proxes) fitted in a package but after doing my sums it looks as though these will be cheaper AND a better choice of tyre. . . . .

Bloody e-mail is down at the moment so can't make an order

 

I bought rotas but bought the tyres seperately for the same reason.

 

53WRX - Did you get the 235/40/18 £89.30 fitment? I was under the impresion that i should get the 225/40/18 £84.60 if i was buying 18" - 7.5" size wheel for my 52 bugeye. You know if this is correct??

 

If you are running 7.5's 225/40/18 is the best option IMHO. I had this on my WRX and it was fine. You could run 235's but thats alot of rubber for a 7.5. I am running 235/40/18 on 18x8's and bought them from Zak for £95 a corner. I paid £50 to a company in Maldon 'Supertyres' to fit them. In all I paid £430 but doing it now through Zak would cost me £397.20 which is a great deal.

 

Nice one, cheers for your help.

I've e-mailed Mocom Racing (now my e-mail is back) for a set of four 225/40/18.

 

 

I've extracted a few coments from the EVO test and added them along with a link above. For your reference I also run them on my car, a 400bhp MY05 STi, which gets driven very hard very often
If they weren't upto the job, I wouldn't run them, simple as that.

 

Great prices!

....and I just replaced my two front tyres!

Great deals like this isn't helping my temptation to getting a set of 18" Speedlines Zak!

 

I run these in 235/40/18s

Far and away the best all weather road tyre i have ever driven on. I thought Goodyear eagle F1s were good in the wet until i used the Vredesteins. Nice and firm sidewalls give a lovely positive "turn-in" and great steering feel.

Grip is fantastic in all conditions and break away very progressively when provoked beyond the limit.

Zak, how comes even I dont get em at that price???

Love em

 

Hate to say this but 225/40-18 are £93.94 fitted at Elites as opposed to £94.60 fitted form Zak. The 235/40-18 are cheaper from Zak, though!

Blimey £73 cheaper than elites on the 235's !!!

 

Is that £20 per tyre?

Very good price, but i'd guess the postage charge to N.Ireland would be quite a bit more.

I dropped Mocom an e-mail yesterday but unfortunatly i'm not at work to pick up my e-mails today so not sure what the next move is.
You reckon they'll give me a call?

 

Do you do them in 255/35/19's?

 

Shipping to N.Ireland would be £30 in total

Pippyrips, yes we have 255/35/19 in stock

 

Email sent

 

Picking mine up tomorrow!

Thank you.

I think i'll have to place an order at that price.

Cheers,

I'm really tempted by a set of 225 40/18's to replace my T1R's that are 80% worn..

How does the dry turn in compare to say a RE070, which has to be the benchmark in that area..?

It's down to sidewall stiffness I suppose..?

 

^^^^^
BTTT..

 

Turn in is far from RE070 turn in mate, but then so is everything else.

However the turn in on these is far superior to the likes of the toyo, yoko, michelin and goodyear.

My old ultracs were good, these are even better

 

Don't suppose these are available in 215/45/17?

 

For me personally, turn in is probably the biggest criteria of a tyre (has to be a good all rounder) and it's probably just as well I've never tried RE070's as I would have been spoiled..

The best of the rest is what I needed to hear, so it looks like I may be buying a set to keep for when my T1-rs finally need changing..

 

Just buy the RE 070 mate i bought some for the ring in July and i love em superb in the dry and surprisingly good in the wet also

 

Not the Sessanta unfortunately, just the original Ultrac - still a good tyre, excels in the wet but lacks the stiffer sidewall of the Sessanta.

I have one last set of the original Ultrac's in 235/45/17 - anyone interested in these for £280.00?

 

Will 235's fit the standard STi rim Zak, or are they too wide?
