I used to run Vredesteins on my '75 280Z - excellent wet traction, quiet, great traction, even good wear - Road & Track did a bunch of tire tests back in the 70's and Vredestein came in 1st for wet traction, 2nd for dry traction, 2nd overall because of wear & price

just put Latitudes on, my Diamari rears were not available - more worried about wet traction since I spend more time in the southeast. I should have looked into more options, but my local Michelin dealer has always given me great service & price (& says please/thank you to his workers), so I like to support these kinds of businesses

Great pics & fabulous finish!

It seems there are 2 mixed reviews of these tyres, see 2nd reply here. Let us know if your fuel consumption takes a hit and if they tram-line at all......

I have them, I really like them. This month makes one year of having them on my vehicle and they have and are still performing great. Last year I was tempted to put on Toyo Proxies, like many of the members on the forum. But I decided to give them a try, I am still amazed even after a year of use they are still so quiet and the stopping power is great, even in the rain. And yes they look very cool too!

If you drive over say raised or painted lines the tyres kind of follow the line like a rail track line which makes a not so nice feel and could be a bit scary - hence the term "tram-line"

This is exactly what my Diamaris do. Awful tires. Absolute junk. I have been watching the Vredestiens for some time now. Waiting for reviews. Ordered my new set yesterday. Cant wait to replace the Diamaris.
