I think boss was out for a few days. You should be able to get through today.

Can I still squeeze in an order for the 20's or is it closed?

OK...I am way late to the game here, but anyway to get in on the 19's still?

Yes it's long over. PM sent.

So, now that everyone has their Vredestein tires mounted what are your impressions? I am very curious to hear!!

I am extremely happy with mine, they grip better than my Duelers, IMO they are better than my Pirellis. The only thing I didn't like was in heavy rain they made a loud sound above 74 MPH, and even though they are the same size as my Duelers they don't look as wide on the X.

As a follow up, when I had my tire guy put them on, he asked what did these cost you, I told him, he said that is lower than I for pay them! Thank you to X5!

I bought a set of 19's through the group buy, but I had also bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion Asimmetrico's. I was torn between the Summer Vred's and all-season Pirelli's. In the end I went with the Pirelli's thinking they would last longer and the fact they were wider. I was going to keep the Vred's and install them when the Pirelli's wore out because this group buy was such a good deal, but I decided to sell my set to another member here when a few mechanical issue came up on the X.

For comparison sake, here is a photo of the Pirelli and the Vred. Both are rear tires in the same exact size.

I am getting to the point where I will be replacing my Diamaris. The tires I am thinking about are the all-season Michelin Latitude HP or Pirelli Scorpion Asimmetrico's. I have the staggered 19 setup. If I was to stick with a summer only tire I would consider the Vreds. However, I like to snowboard in the winters and think it would be nice to have an all season setup. I am not sure it makes much sense for me to get a dedicated winter set because I don't live where it snows. I only go up to the mtns in CA and UT for snowboarding on trips. However, if I lived where it snows it would probably make sense to have two sets of wheels/tires.
