anyone like me feels that tread pattern on vredestein is kinda weird? they're not symmetric. left side looks like /| and right side looks like |/ when you look from rear. isn't that gonna affect handling?

why don't they make it like "/| and |\" or "\| and |/"?

I've had mine on for two months and I love the handling and looks. Best looking tires for the X5 IMHO.....

Wow I got these on my 4.6is... I am HAPPY!!! Smooth, grippy, and man do they look good. The best part.... the price!! $880 for all four including shipping plus $150 for my local guy to mount and balance. They have a 280 wear rating so we'll see how they hold up.

Performance tire plus has the staggered set for 765 (plus shipping) Custom Tires, Custom Wheels, and Parts and Accessories for your Antique, Hot Rod, and Muscle Car from Performance Plus Tire
350zmotoring has them for a similar price 350zMotorSports.com 480-829-4908 | Home Page
Bones is high at 899 plus whatever for shipping.
I just bought a set of these and waiting for them to be delivered. As a side note, the 315/35/30 Ultrac Sessanta's are pretty much limited to stock on hand with a new shipment coming in towards the end of the month.

Just ordered mine as well.

Thanks ekaz for the 350z link. They had 40 in stock, now 38. site says $218 each. I called to verify if they were in stock and they gave me the price of $208.

Performance Tire is back ordered.

This is a hard to find tire right now.

Was there a code or promotion id on the Performance tire plus site to get the $765 price?

I need to get these ASAP

I would call them first. From the site they look like they are in stock. I called them to verify if they were in stock, because I needed rear tires fast. They where out and had no date when they were getting them.

I ended up getting them from the 350z site. I called and talked to Rich. They have the rears which are the harder ones to get and they are in AZ. Just call Rich and ask him to price match.

I have these tires for a few days now. So far so good.

I spoke to one guy at Performance Plus in Long Beach, California about one week ago. They do carry alot of the 315/25/20 in stock, but the 275/40/20 were out of stock for now and should have them soon. I was quoted for $169 for the 275/40/20 and $214 for the 315/35/20.
