Default Vredestein Sessanta tires, anybody?

Anybody have any spec information on these? They are Dutch i believe and are made by a European Goodyear. Anybody know the width of the 315/35/17 they advertise? I know the gs d3's are 12.3" and the bfg kd's are 12.5" or so. Any info would be helpful.

40 people have looked but no answers? On the corvette forums, one guy with a 98 Vette? said they performed as well as the GS D3's at the autocross track.

I have the same tires sitting in my garage waiting for my new wheels.

From what I read on corvette forums as well as here, performance wise they are similar to GSD3's and KDW2's without the heafty price tag.

I would recommend them.

That's me that has them. I am impressed with them so far. No complaints at all. They hook decent for a street tire, handle well and look good. I don't know about wet traction cause my car doesn't see rain.
Would I recommend them? YES!

Batmobile, I love the front fascia of your car. I ordered the same smoked bumper lights but I have different projectors lights. My projectors only have 2 circles inside instead of 3 and I ordered the smoked side marker lights.

I'm thinking about just taking the black insert out and filling in the holes and leave it open. It looks more aggressive that way. How much would it cost, I wonder?
