I've done 80 odd miles on my Vreds now, round trip of 60 miles today down the M4 in a torrential downpoour and they were great though i was taking it easy as they aren't fully bedded in yet. Once it dried out i made them work a bit harder and definitely did on the way back. Great grip and feedback and as i say at less than 100 miles run on them i still haven't experienced the best of them.   :popcornsoda:

Comfort and noise are great too - highly recommended and what the car deserved, my best "mod" so far  :party:

With the deteriorating weather, I just ordered 4 Vredesteins from Event Tyres for £107 a corner to be fitted at my home on Saturday am.  Cheapest I could find and minimal hassle!  Everything else half decent was £95-100 a corner at least so actually these turned out to be in the same ballpark.

Thanks all for recommending.  Going to be another costly month  :scared:

good choice, i'm now coming up to 400 miles on them and they are excellent, very planted and good feedback. I've done a few bends leading onto motorways which have demonstrated a bit of centrifugal force for those inside the car  :grin: but the tyres haven't so much as murmured and the car has remained true all the way round  :innocent:
