Are these 275 up front and 315 in the rear with the TT m in black? if so I ordered the same package from Tomz. I actually got the last set of TT M in black... Katrina from Tomz hooked me up, she had to go searching for them.

I think I was the first one on this forum to try these tires. I'm still very happy with them. I do have one grip however, My car sits a lot and they flat spot easily. Once they warm up and I do some highway driving they get better though. Still can't beat them for the price and I'd put them up against some of the more expensive tires.

Here is the difference between the 275 HTR and the 315 Vredestein.

^ uhm... sigh? Maybe its early, but don't those almost look identical in size?

So the real question is: has anyone put the 295s on a set of 10.5 inch rims yet?

I'd like to see how this looks.

Here is a pic of mine, 275/35ZR19 in the rear. They look narrower in pictures for some reason but in person they look nice and wide.



Must be the tread design that gives an illusion of a narrower look

Haven't driven on them yet, so i'm not sure how they are yet, but like everyone else on here i bought them because i heard nothing but good things.

are these Vredestein 315's skinnier than the summitomo 315's becuase i know the summitomos are skinny for 315's... from what iv seen i think good year gsd3's are one of the wider 315's... these Vredestein look skinny as hell

A friend just got a set from TomZ. I find the tread pattern odd. He claims that they're all-season rated, but I can't see how that can be with that tread pattern.

I called Tomz yesterday and they're down to one or two tires in the size I need (295/35/18), and the guy I spoke to thought these were already sold. I'm hoping they get another shipment in soon, as I've got new wheels on order and they should be here in a little over a month.

I had never heard of them until I saw them on Tomzwheels. Personally, I won't get a tire I've never heard of. Tires are one of the most important things on a car and I won't get an off brand. I'd rather spend a little extra money and get a brand that I know and trust.

That's a pretty myopic way to go through life. It's hardly and "off brand". If you Google these tires, you'll find that there are MANY people using them in all sorts of applications, and the reviews are all very good.
