Vredestein (all types) is well-known in sports car circles. I have them on my MG. They have proven to be terrific tires ("tyres," in British parlance for MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, etc., enthusiasts). I have seen them on other imported cars as well, including Porsche, Audi, VW, BMW, and Mercedes.

It is very interesting. From what I read they did multiple test and designs to come up with this pattern. Not sure if it will work but the following is a link to a video about the Sessanta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW2aP...eature=related
You can also review their website at www.vredestein.com
Here is a section out of a advertisment for features and benefits:
Parametric Design - Optimal design quality: profile, construction, design and contours selected according to mathematical formulae for each size.
Handling Tuned Tread Compound (HTTC) Extremely high tracking power, allowing faster cornering Measured correction of the car is possible on bends.
HTS+ (Handling Tuned Sidewall) principle with robust outer shoulders and sturdy sidewalls Very direct steering feel Optimal contact with the road surface.
Two rayon carcass layers make the tyre stable and sturdy during handling Maximum resistance to lateral forces The car stays more controllable in the most crititcal situations.
Of course it is all just words if it doesn't perform but, personally, between the design, the cost and the reviews I got sold. I hope they perform like they are supposed to. I have 315/35/17 on the rear and they were $200 ea., the fronts - 245/45/17 were $160 ea.

I bought mine out of California from "Performance Plus Tire". They were great to deal with and had them in stock. They said there isn't a dealer in the NE. Don't know if that is true but I couldn't find one. They had the best price also. Shipping wasn't bad either, about $26 a tire, had them in 4 days. I thought they were also and was very surprised to see there not.

I ran the Vredesteins on a '79 Audi 100 back in '83, then switched to the Goodyear GT IIs. The Vreds were WAY better in the rain, and ran smoother and quieter than the Goodyears, but didn't have the dry grip of the Goodyears. Stiil, they were high quality tires and I think Vredestein is a great tire brand.
I was thinking about those for my car, too. What size did you buy?
