Vredestein Sportrac - £55ea fitted

Vredestein Sportracs £55 a corner fitted inc vat/ valves/ balancing etc [Selectatyre]
Sounds like a good price for a pretty good tyre to me.

Only got to go a mile down the road to get them fitted too.
Contisport Contact2's were £69ea

Have had Contis on the front for 20k miles now and they are not far off the TWI, so still legal and have been on 2 1/2 years! Been really impressed with them all round. Back ones have been on a year or so longer and are bang on the indicator - so it looks like 4 new ones

Dont know how much longer i'm keeping the car, but want some decent rubber on and only do about 5k miles per year anyway, so think I'm going for the Vredestein.

Anyone got these on?

Went and got these on Saturday. New boots all round then

Must admit first thing you notice is the improved responsiveness, havent pushed them hard yet, but they turn in incredibly well.

Great deep V-tread pattern.

Cleaned the wheels up yesterday and removed the muck where the old wheel balance weights were and the tyres have been dressed with Megs Endurance Gel.

I will get some pics up when the camera is charged.

I have a set of these on my cup at the moment! after my old cheapies the difference is amazing! I am now looking at suspension upgrades and brakes because I have the confidence back to test the car! Previous tyres were Nexen N3000 and were not worth a penny in comparison, previous falkens were rubbish too! Good purchase
