Vredistine Tyres

I am considering Vredistine Sessanta to replace my Diamaris 315/35 20 rear and 275/40/ 20 front. Would welcome any feedback from anyone running on them. They seem to be a quality high performance tyre but are approx €100 to €120 cheaper per tyre.

I have put about 800 miles on a rear set. They are a good tire so far.

I love mine! Great tires!

Do a search - I have quite a few threads out there about Vredesteins!

i think ima go for these after my proxes wear out. i was taking a look at them online today, and they seem to be listed as summer tires, but some posts talk about them handling well in the snow ...?

No... Sessanta - Ultra hight performace SUMMER tires, perfect handling, ride comfort- OK...... SUMMER ONLY, its unidirectional tires, if you wanna live, buy Vredesten WINTRAC 4 winter tires - perfect even in mountains...

Read through the threads. Apparently these tires wear pretty quick (which accounts for their great grip).

Vredistine tyres

Thanks for the advice. Done the searches.It would seem the down side on these tyres are that they may wear quickly and that they are summer tyres. I have just 30k miles on the diamaris lots of thread on the outsides but the middle is worn below legal limit, although i was running them at 36psi. If I got 30k on the Vreds I would be happy. Anybody done that kind of mileage?

I recently put these tires on my stock 19'' sports wheels and no significant difference comparing with toyo proxes on my 22' wheels. one thing I noticed is that they're noisier than toyo proxes when driving in the rain.

I can't recall for certain, but I believe reading that the wear was much faster than the Diamaris.
