Just took a bout a 40 min ride around with my new tires. Vrederstien Sussanta's. They really do make a pretty big difference. MY RFT's tramlined really bad and were getting more and more loud as they aged. The Vred's just make the whole ride feel a lot more agile and it also rides noticeably softer. Like Sport mode feels smoother than non sport mode used to. I guess they sort of tamed the beast a bit. We'll see how subsequent rides and log term wear plays out but so far its a pretty nice change. Maybe now my lovely fiance will stop hating on the X's rough ride now. Probably not.

Appearance wise I think they look pretty good. They look more narrow in the pics than they do IRL. I have no issues with the fit and I like the tread pattern.

Apparently, i'm screwed should it snow or freeze but I can work from home whenever I want and we have a WRX that beasts in snow. Given its the off year we get snow. Since I have summer tires it will probably snow everyday.
