Default Vredstein Ultrac Vorti????

It seems Vredstein don't make the Ultrac Sessanta anymore.
I was quite happy with the Sessantas and with a bit of effort i will be able to source some.
I really need to get a pair on before Thurs ideally so am cutting it fine so has anyone had the Vortis? I still have a pair of the Sessantas on the front but i believe the Vortis have replaced them so should be similar?

I ordered the Ultrac Sessanta a couple of months back.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately not in stock in my size although at £178 each is £70 per tyre more than I paid last time.
The reviews seem fairly strong on the Vortis so might just dip my toe in the water

Decent reviews as far as I can find.

I use sessanta currently and will search for them again when i need them replacing but camskill seem to offer them with a 3 day lead time, may be too long for you though mate.

Has anyone tried these yet,i'm very tempted at the price but there's not a lot of information on them that I can find.

I`ve seen a couple of threads by guys who ran the Sessantas and moved on to Vortis, and were very disappointed; I`m sure it was someone on here, or Uk Legacy.

Had them fitted yesterday.
Snowing + 2c + rear wheel drive + brand new tyres = Bambi on ice
Will report back when I've had the opportunity to push on
