Vredesteins
Hey all. I got my new Vredesteins mounted this morning and as my kids say "OMG"!!!! What a difference.. I had Michelin Diamaris but they were down to about 4/32 remaining and were awful. They liked to follow every groove on the road. I believe someone on the forum called it railroading or track railing or something like that. I've got the 275/40/20 on the front and the 315/35/20 on the rear. What a nice riding tire. Definitley quiet. I got the roadforce balance on a Hunter9700. I was told by the tech that my right side rims were bent or out of spec so I'm gonna have them fixed tommorrow and the company that did the work for me will rebalance them for free. I also need to have a lower ball joint replaced tommorrow before I can have an alignment done.
Anyway just thought I'd say thanks to all of you who recommended these tires on this forum.

Tramlining. Pretty evident on soft compound tires too.
