New soles needed.
« on: 20 November 2008, 21:23 »
These are the 3 tyres I am torn between, they obviously need to perform well but at the same time last as long as possible...just interested to see feedback from yourselves.

The price is per tyre and no fiiting, if you know a cheaper place to purchase from then please enlighten me :)

Prices quoted from http://www.camskill.co.uk

Can someone confirm the tyre size and rating aswel please.

Thanks, Steve.

I've had the Vredesteins on mine for a couple of thousand miles and the difference between them and the Michelin Exaltos that came with the car is night and day!

I've had the Vredsteins on for a while now.  Very good tyre compared to the Conti.  I think the Goodyears beat them though in a recent EVO mag test. :undecided:

I got a good deal on the Sessanta's and I'm glad I took a punt at them. They are much better than either the conti 2's or conti 3's I've already had on the car in the past. Dry and wet grip are a lot better, although wear I'll have to reserve judgement on. :nerd:
