Vredestein Sessanta tires on 20" 214 wheels
After so many great reviews on the Vredestein Sessanta tires I decided to try them. It is a non-RFT and although it is a lower profile tire (front:275/40/20, Rear:315/35/20) than my 19" Bridgestone Dueler (255/50/19), it does feel slight softer, and slightly more comfortable.

After a month of diving on them I must say I really like the Vredestein Sessanta, very comfortable and quiet ride.
The grip is superior to most or all tires I had before and I had some really nice Z rated performance tires on my old 3 series.
I drove in wet and dry conditions with confidence. I have not driven in the snow with, however I have heard from others who tried them in the snow and said they were good too because the compound of the tires are soft but yet it has good wear rating too.

I recommend them for sure ..
Also the Giugiaro tread design is hot too!

I also carry a small air compressor and Dunlop tire sealant combo in the storage of the truck for emergency in case of flat.
I read reviews able the Slime sealant stuff is very good too.

Also the German sports car magazine Powercar crowned the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta the winner of a test involving eight high-performance summer tires.

Great write-up!! I'm sold if I can find some 214s for a good price. Also helps that the rears have an equal or better Load rating as OEM. Found that out searching e-bay ...

I'd recommend not using the slime stuff if you've got TPM's (Tire Pressure Monitors) because it'll ruin them.

It gums them up and you'll need new ones.

Is it the curry and pepper compounds that make them a hot item.
