I have them on my new age and I don't have any plans to change brand.

I run Toyo T1R's on my classic which I also like.

If you do buy the Vredesteins, post up the best price you found, I need some too.

I went from Goodyear F1 GSD3's to the Sessantas. Dry grip is now a bit better, wet grip also better. 'Feel' of the road is better, although they can also be harsher.

Due to the stiffer sidewall there is more tendency to tramline.

The reduction in tread noise was really noticeable.

I got mine from Camskill.

Another thing worth noting is that they are 'bigger' than some other tyres of the same marked size. Mine are 225/45-18 and when they arrived I stood them next to the 225/45 Bridgestones that were in the garage. The Sessantas are at least 10mm wider, and a bit taller as well, enough to notice on the speedo.

£99 for 225/40/18 Tyremen. £119 for 245/40/18's. Couple quid more at Camskill.
