Yep I have vredestein sessantas on my spec c, fantastic tyres I can't fault them, had toyo t1r's & bridgstone's in the past and I find the vredestein are better than both of them.

That's where mine came from !

Best mixed weather tyre I've used, I still rate RE-070's & R888's for summer use !

Great grip and price, but i only got 11000 miles on the front of my Blob which is far, far less than what i have had out of Pirelli, Michelin and BF Goodriches which all gave around 27000 miles. For me the best 'all round' tyre has been the BF Goodrich which i believe is Michelins budget brand.

Thats where I got them as well. Compared to my 5 year old bridgestone RE50 they transformed the car, a bit like having a new suspension set up. Quieter, slightly firmer, much better front end grip and less understeer, handles and grips so much better and for the price I wish I did it sooner.

Although I have read that they can wear out <15,000miles on the front it is usually from people who say that they wore out Eagle F1s in 10,000miles.
