Default Woops! Tell you later.

Having Goodyear GSD3s on my car. ATMO.

Judging by the Forums Ultrac Sessantas? Are the way to go,on a Scooby.

Toyo T1Rs. On my MR2 Turbo? Yes! But Subaru.

Stick them Vredes on.

Aparently. LOL!

Same here, I have had both and definitely prefer the Sessantas to any tyre, never mind the Toyo's. I just got rid of Asymmetrics a little early, they were very good but so far I would go Sessantas againas they are cheaper.

Default Sessanta - Not available for standard Hawkeye wheels

Annoyingly the 215/45R17 is not available from anywhere, don't think they make that size.

Have you considered the Falken FK452, just trying 2 on the rear at present and can't fault them. Had Toyo's before and you never quite new where you were with them!

Getting alot of feedback through the Falkens, also massive saving over the toyo's!

Got Vrede Ultrac Sessantas,225/45/17s from Camskill. £79.99 a corner.

Had them fitted last week and car now feels much better. The Goodyear Gsd3s I had got taken off still had about 5mm tread on them! But were just nothing like the feel of the Vredes.

I love em too. It's took me a while but with my recent car mods and these tyres my confidance has returned. To be honest, over 5 years ago I was recommended Vredestein by a Subaru salesman and I just laughed and said "Vredes who?!?" so goes to show ya!!!

have used toyo's before and thought they were good, they were good on track too. Currently running falkens but they feel much harder and dont offer much grip on the track, have just discovered a slow puncture so looks like i'll be ordering a set vreddys to try judging by the comments on here, they do look like a good tyre too!

i've had vreddy's on my spec C a month or so . did a very wet track day at castlecombe and have done enough road miles now to say they are excellent tyres. I would not swap the 4 of them for 12 toyo T1r's, although i may swap them for R888's,, thats if i knew it wasn't going to rain for a year. i um'd and arh'd over different tyres such as good year eagle/assymetric and a few others. But the vreddys are a great tyre

had my vreddys ultrac centro fitted today. first impressions are excellent. good grip, very quiet. just playing about with tyre pressures at the moment to see what suits. going 33psi all round as 32 didnt feel right. the test will be when it rains.
