Hello there, I have just bought a set of wheels and they came with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres and I have a wee queery about them. Are these tyres sided?



The tyre on the left looks fine but the one on the right the tread looks as if it is going in the wrong direction, even if the tyre was turned it would still be wrong?
It looks as if I have 4 lefts if that is at all possible??????

looking for some advice from others who run these tyres

A confused

What you see in the pic is what you get, I had the same query when I had mine.

In my opinion the best tyre for both wet and dry conditions available.

Fast forward to 6.08

Symmetrical but not directional.

Separate left & right side tyres are not needed.

Thanks for that, went out and got 3 of my new wheels on but the FARKIN CRAPPY SUBARU locking wheel nuts have let me down for a 2nd time, the last time the key snapped, this time the nut has rounded off
(2 different sets)

takes a deep breath and counts to 3

Overtightening maybe?

prossibly, rear wheels were last off when I hired a set of wheels with slicks at a trackday about 6 months ago and havent been off since.
I was a tad wet (its raining outside) and emotional when I posted last time.
Even with copper slip on the threads they can still stick

oh well out comes the cold chisel in the morning

Seems to work fine, I've gone through lots of really big puddles just lately and nothing funny happened...

The Sessantas actually did very well in the tests for aquaplaning and wet braking.

Compared to the peoples favorite F1 GSD3 they (Sessanta's)seem to be better in the wet and dry, and much better than Toyo's. F1 Assymetric have them licked though, although they wear quickly and are expensive.

got these on my superchipped saab 93 hot. much better alround than toyos specially in the wet. still able to change lanes on a damp road without turning the wheel - torque steer anyone!! -

I have them on my STI as well and while they are good they haven't really given me much confidence in the car to be honest. On the original RE070s it gripped like nothing on earth but these were very slippy to start with and have only just become to be anything like I would expect. It took 5000 miles to stop them making me understeer all over the shop.

Hopefully they'll keep getting better. Great value though.
