I really need some decent tyres on my car as i currently run some horrific cheapo's that came with the alloys and ive had some close slippery moments to say the least lol. Going round my local tyre places , they highly rate the vredestein ultra sessanta's, just wondering does any fellow Briskodian have a review on how these perform?

Cheers, Dan

I have these, but on a Z4. Can't fault them, wet or dry.

Good feed back, good wear and very good grip including a dozen or so Ring laps and a Nurburgring GP circuit session. No complaints!

I'll be sticking with them come replacement time.

Cheers dude i've never heard of them untill today so i thought i best get some research/reviews sorted lol

Were VERY VERY good on the mongrel but a set only lasted about 5,000 miles. :( I can get more than double that out of a set of T1R toyos! In short, great tyre, shocking wear rate (in my experience) Economically they are nowhere near twice as good as T1R just a "bit better" but last way less so its a no brainer for me to continue to use T1R.

The local garages were saying that the vredesteins lasted longer than the toyo's , depends on the car and the way its driven maybe?

I drove mine no differently. They just seemed to wear out quicker. No idea why though. Maybe I got too confident in how much grip they actually had.

Devon, jeez that is shocking wear and very surprising. Mine have done around 8-10k miles and still plenty of life left.

the owner of the 1 garage had a set on his merc for near 25k miles and they still had a little left to go on them!

My experience of the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's is that they are fault proof.

I had no issues whatsoever and they are ultra grippy.

I have friends who run them on E46 M3's...such is the grip they offer! Would always recommend Vredestein's and Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 Asymm's

On another note, I have today found out that an ultra highly rated tyre is Fulda Assuro?

Never heard of it before :S

As from Today My Octavia Vrs PD TDi is booted with these :-

205/55/16 Kleber

I've put over 10K on a set of Ultrac Sessantas so far ( taken them off now and fitted my winter wheels and tyres), they have still got 6mm+ on them so a big thumbs up for wear and they are brilliant in the wet and the dry, slightly noisier than the Contisport 3's I originally had on but very grippy even on a remapped CR170VRS pushing out over 450Nm of torque!!

I used Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas for 2 years on my Octavia vRS TDI to very good effect.

Car was initially shod with Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 and I'd say the dry grip & feel of the Vreds was just as good but the Wet grip was noticeably better. I only got 2/3rd the mileage out of the Vreds compared to the Michelins but then they were 2/3rd the price; so on a ££ per mile basis they cost the same as Michelins.

Got c. 18,000 mile from my front set of Vreds with generally hard/sporty driving.

I have subsequently got a set on my 'summer wheels' on my Yeti.

The Ultrac Sessantas came 2nd in the 2007 EVO tyre test as here;- http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2007-evo-tyre-test.htm

Overall; you can do lot worse than buy Ultrac Sessantas.

Having these fitted all round tomorrow and a laser alignment done as my steering wheel is nowhere near in the middle lol. £425 gone though :( Needs to be done though due to my current cheapo tyres giving me some twitchy moments to say the least.

having a full set fitted on my new rims tthen fitted to le vrs . getting tracking done as spending lots of pennies in one go.

The Fulda might be as good as the Good year evuivalent. I believe they are made int he same factory as good year and the new 'sports' tyre has identical tread pattttern as good year's.

just to give some feedback to this thread, these tyres are blooming brilliant, throw it in any corner and just glues to the road, love them!
