So far I've found the grip to be amazing, both wet and dry. As a caveat though I do not do any street racing or popping the clutch type activity (by that I mean street drag racing). I just drive it hard, carving up curves and keeping the rpm's up. Also, since the V.U.S.'s have one smooth surface rather than a blocked-tread design they are extremely low-noise. Of course, since they are UHP-rated tires don't expect to get 50,000 miles out of them.

These tires are definitely wider than my 315 Summitomo I had on my WS6. Thet are actually pretty damn meaty back there. And look mean as hell. I wasn't sure on mounting as well until I backed it in the garage from washing it. and the wet tire mark on the dry cement in the garage shows it perfectly. Kind of a neat thing. I am very happy with the look and the feel of these tires. and Rumor has it, they grip pretty well for a street tire on hole shots.

as far as grip i cannot notice as of yet havent got on them as seems like some coating on the tires will get some more miles and see how well they will do. i just mounted these today so far so good, sure are better then the stock goodyears.

Thanks for posting pics Foxrus14 and BluesZ28!

I finally got my CCWs in, but was pretty pissed that UPS separated one wheel/tire set...so I am sitting here like an idiot with 3 wheels/tires! The other one won't be here until Monday. UPS JERKS!

The only reason I'm not even more upset, though, is because I dropped my car off yesterday afternoon to have cam/headers installed and it won't be ready until Monday, as well. So no cruising at all this weekend

Well, I will at least post pics of the wheels (1 front/1 rear). I was very happy with how the tires fit on the wheels. The Vredestein seem to be a wider tire than some others, as I surely thought that 275/35 and 295/35 on 18x10 and 18x11 would be stretching it a little. This was, of course, after seeing other brands in those sizes ill-fitting on those wheel sizes. I am quite impressed. Chip at CCW hooked it up and it's perfect!

See pics below!
