Have faith

my tyres aren't the sessantas mine are just called Ultrac the ones with the tree branch tread pattern & I'm very very impressed & I think they're a shade cheaper than sessantas aswell

I see they've gone up a little bit since I got mine

I have a full set of Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta on my ZT180. having used Michelin Pilot Sports exclusively until the latest change I can only compare the two.
The Vredsteins appear to give a similar ride, grip, etc. The down side detected so far is that they are rather noisier than the Michelins.
It was price that stopped me continuing with Michelin and Vredstein were the best I could afford.
Only time will tell regarding whether they are a better deal, I have only done about 4K on the Vreds whereas 42K on two sets of Miches.

BTW I paid £121.00 per corner last July.

My 75 has just had 2 16" vreds classic fitted on the front and I must say they are excellent. Wet weather hold and breaking is ACE. I will certainly have 2 more on the back when the time comes.

Running a set of 4 of these on my 260 so far been very impressed - gave good performance in the recent snow and ice too.

It seems tyres are a critical choice for these cars.

What would constitute a top 5 or so range of tyres.

I suppose the ZT would be more critical than the 75.

Hmmmmmmmm !!!!

My Dad has just ordered a set of 4 Kumho's for his ZT-T. Anyone give their opinion on these? The conti's he had only lasted around 10 000 miles, and at over £150 a corner it was very expensive with an annual mileage of 18 000.
