Default Bridgestone RE050 or Vredestein Ultrac???

Its come down to these two for me I think.

Have run Brdigestones in the past and found them good.

Hear a lot of good stuff about Vredesteins but never used em.

Dont care much about wear rates....I want stiff sidewalls and grip, grip, grip....mostly in the dry, but wet is improtant too.

Can get a set of Vredesteins from mytyres for 445.60 all in or Bridgestones from Costco for 465.00.

Size 215x40x17 in Y speed rating.

What do folks think???

RE050 but only if you are using the RE050A model.

Lovetyres have the RE050A in your size for £104 a corner.

My 225/40/18 RE050A were surprisinglycheaper at £96 a corner lol.

I ran Ultrac Centos before I got my Sessantas. Great tyre and I'd never look at the Bridgestones again.
