Post Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Tires Wet/Dry Traction



Does anyone have any information about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires and how good of traction they get? I currently have Goodyear GSD3's and LOVE how well they do in both wet and dry conditions, but I just ordered new wheels and I plan on putting 315/35/17s in the rear... FWIW, 315/35/17 GSD3 tires will cost me $300 a piece, and 315/35/17 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires will cost me $170 a piece..

Does anyone know how well these tires do in wet and dry conditions?

How much of a downgrade would these be from my Goodyear GSD3s?


Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

-John

compared to the Goodyears the Vredesteins are the better value. Dry and wet traction is about the same as the goodyears. IMO the Vredesteins ride smoother and quieter. Whether they last as long as the Goodyears only time will tell

I have had no problems at all with my Vredesteins and i am verry happy with them. have had then on the car for a couple hundred miles and they grip well. 315's rear 275 fronts. they are an awsome tire for the price you cant beat them. as far as wet/dry traction...No complaints at all. Hit at steep curve Bank in the rain at 75+ and then stuck all the way around......
