Just ordered 4 Sunny SN3830's for next winter.  Will fit them on my secondhand wheels (that came with a brand new Avon and two half worn Hankooks)

The Hankooks are better tyres than the F1's before them.

Vreddestein Ssanta Asymetric Ultrac's are best all round appeal. price, performance, life etc.
.........my choice as well.  :smiley:

Hello, first post  :smiley:

Could you tell me what these are like noise wise as I`m` having tyre noise issues having just fitted Bridgestones.
They`re unbearable and I need to change them soon.

Very quiet as they have an asymetric tread pattern. No conplaints and a very pretty design tyre (as tyres go!)

i think the main issue with the vreds is their longevity. when i buy tyres i want them to be alrounders, good in all weather and long lasting. you can read opinions on the web forever about tyres but as i say i want a good tyre that lasts. steve how many sets of vreds have you got through in the last six months since you started using them? to me its a false economy buying cheap tyres and shredding them quickly.

^^^^

done 10000 miles, and have about 3mm on the front.

rears have done about 7000 and still on 6-7mm :smiley:

Considering its a 300bhp car, think they have done  very well.

I will be getting the same tyres again in a month or so.

suppose thats not too bad but i thought you have been through a few sets of them already and you only started buying them recently?!  :lipsrsealed:

suppose it depends on the driving style aswell or motorwway miles like i do. managed 20k out of my last set!  :cool:
