sessanta on a 350z Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: los350z (connecticut)Comments: I have a 350z with all the basic bolt ons and though I rarely beat on my z I noticed a great improvement in grip, especially in wet weathwer, it gives me the extra comfort needed in a rwd car in the rain. Because of this I will continue to buy these tires for any car I own.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Good for the Money Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: fmanfrank (Springfield, VA)Comments: Bought my first full set almost a year ago, and loved them from the begining. I have had to replace one in the past month due to a tire flat that happened on the highway due to pot holes and big nails (:x).
All in all, the tires are great, i love the pattern, the grip is very well in the rain and dry and i've also had great luck with them on the snow (DC snow last year, which was huge).
only complaint i have is the level of noise they can create on highway speeds. it's not too loud, but def noticable on my E-class benz (which are typically quite rides).Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Worth every penny and more Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Felix the Cat (Pacifica, CA)Comments: Purchased for my 06 BMW M3, which burns thru rear tires. In the past I purchased Mich PS2s, Conti's, and Kumhos. Hands down, these beat all of these brands in terms of overall performance and wear. They handle beautifully in rainy conditions and perform exceptional well on dry roads. For the cost, you cannot beat this tire.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great Performance at a low price Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: G35 Coupester (Uxbridge, MA)Comments: Great tires very sticky, with impressive handling, good hydroplane resistance and wet tracttion. Only downside is they are a little loud at speed.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: Great customer service shipped same day.Great performing tires Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Sergey "evolvah" Maslyakov (Dallas, TX)Comments: I'm running Sessantas on both of my vehicles, Infiniti G35 coupe and BMW X5 4.8i. I'm on my second set for both and I like these tires a lot. They are especially good in wet weather but they perform great in dry too.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Nice tires Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Rawdawg69 (GERMANY)Comments: I have these on my C63 and they hold up here in Germany on the autobahn very well plenty of grip, and you need grip if you enjoy driving and feeling safe.

Lasts quite long. This is my third set, and get around 30,000 miles on them. I would get more but my alignment on my 350z causes wear on the inside of the tiresPros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: Good communication and super fast shipping.I am on my 3rd set of Vredesteins Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Philip (San Francisco)Comments: I would not say that the tread is long-lasting but then again nothing is for a 993. I get about 8-12 months usage or 10-15K out of the rear tires. Fronts will usually last for twice as long
The Vredestein tires are exceptionally good looking too.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses outstanding Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: Review by: eastbay 220 (walnut creek)Comments: i've only driven about 200 miles so far and all i can say is "wow"

Great grip in the corners.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: I never received a confirmation email on when the tires were shipped, but I did get them in a week from when I ordered.Nice and stickey, and they look great as Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Mike (washington, dc)Comments: Put a pair of 285/35 X19" on the back of my Maserati 4200 Spyder and I immediately noticed the extra grip. Wheel spin at lights is now done on purpose :) and have gotten several complements on the tread design. Even the [...] delivery guy liked them.Can't speak to wear yet, but since they grip better than my previous tires I have to expect they will last longer. I'll be replacing the fronts in the near future with another pair.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great Tires, Prices, [...] Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Bob (Ronkonkoma,NY)Comments: I saw these tires on your website which I was price shopping for and your prices were the best.[...] I really like them.I will recommend your company to my friends.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses I would buy this product again Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Rom (Montreal, Qc)Comments: nice and good tirePros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Superb value and great performance Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: GregW / Oregon (Portland,OR)Comments: I've been running these on my '08 BMW M3 for a couple years. Just replaced the rears at 18k miles, which I consider very good; fronts are still at 7/32". These are at least as good as the OEM Michelin PS2s in both wet and dry and far less cost.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Car Nut (Southeastern PA.)Comments: I bought these tires for a 1967 Cobra replica. I haven't had them long but I am very impressed. I can tell the sidewalls don't give much and they stick to the road. I have heard they are also awesome in the rain but I doubt I will ever test that since I have no top. For the cost I would recommend these to anyone. I will be buying these for my commuter car soon.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses 120 mph at Watkins Glen/pouring rain Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Fast Eddie (Poughkeepsie New York)Comments: I drive a highly modified 98'corvette and was really surprised that these tires hook up and corner well on the track. The tread pattern looks more like a rain tire than a dry tire but they proved themselves to me over and over(wet and dry track days). I was faster in the pouring rain at Watkins Glen than a race preppared WRX STI with race compound rain tires. He spun out behind me. The WRX driver was shocked that I outran him with a rear wheel drive in the rain. I was impressed too.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Excellent Tire Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: trev (San Francisco, Ca)Comments: I run these on my 2009 Jaguar XJ. Have put about 30k miles on a set of 255/40/19's and put them to the test last week on a road trip to vegas from san francisco (1600 miles round trip with some detours). I raced a few drivers in new cameros and dodge hemi powered somethings. needless to say we all hit our engine rev limits at 140mph but these tires proved stable at constant speeds for 7-10 minuite runs at 130 average speeds and constant 90-100 speeds for the durration of the trip. I will be ordering my seccond set monday.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great low profile tire Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Super J (South Florida)Comments: These tires are mounted on my 2003 350Z. I got around 40,000 miles out of the first pair and I'm pleased with the longevity. Even with all those miles, I still have quite a bit of tread life left, but the tires are now getting a bit loud after all these miles, so I'm changing them (this obviously is not a complaint as the tire life far surpassed my expectations).
The tires perform great cornering, on wet roads and all around are a hit in my books. I'm glad I found out about this brand as I'm a fan.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: Great communication from the seller letting me know the status of my order.

Replaced Sumitomo HRTZIII with these. These tires are quieter and don't flat spot as easy as the Sumi's. I'll update after a few thousand miles.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses I Love My Vredestein Tires Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Marcus Arelius (Kingston, TN)Comments: Vredestein makes the best tire that I've found for my Infiniti G35 Coupe!Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: This is my fourth order from Performance Tire Plus. Never an issue and always shipped same day. I also apprecicate the proactive sending of shipment tracking information.So far, so good. Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: BS Smith (Upstate NY)Comments: Application is an '03 Z06; 275/40ZR17 front, 295/35ZR18 rear. Mounted two weeks ago, and with local cold rain and snow, little experience to report. But fitment is good and expect they'll do well.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: Rears arrived as expected, and were produced within a year of sale. Fronts however were a disappointing three years old. At time of receipt I elected not to pursue the matter with Performance Plus, but subsequent discussion with them suggests they are a solid company, interested in ensuring customer satisfaction. For other customers for whom tire freshness matters however, I suggest using the Seller's order form comments box to indicate expectations in advance.Love 'em ! Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Mac11 (Spokane WA)Comments: I put 'em on an '03 Vette a year ago and would buy another set in a heartbeat! I did a +1 and occaisionally do club autocrosses. They beat the heck out of the F1 Goodyears from every angle. [...] I'm a very happy camper.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses So far I LOVE 'em Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: GuitarDan (Utah)Comments: Replaced a set of Michelin PS2 runflats on my 2000 Corvette with these. HUGE improvement in ride comfort and noise level. They feel a little softer, not as "snappy" as far as handling is concerned, but I don't track competitively, so I'm happy to trade off a tiny bit of handling for quite a bit more comfort. Only had them on for about a week, so I'm anxious to see how well they wear, but so far, I'm sold!Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Superb Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: lovinglife (Montreal, Canada)Comments: A distinct improvement over the OE Dunlop Sport Maxx. These are superb and comfortable tires and I highly recommend them.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses nice tires Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: ed (spring branch tx)Comments: [...]Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great Tire Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: JOKER (Seattle, WA)Comments: This tire is the shiznit. I switched to Vredestein from uber fail overpriced TOYO TR1. What a shiznitty tire that is compared to Ultrac Sessanta. Wet handling is absolutely phenomenal, dry is just as good. My car is lowered 1" and with with -1.7 degree of camber it wears out quite evenly. Comfortably quiet but get's louder as it wears out (as all tires do). Depending on your driving techniques this tire can last you for well over 20k miles. It is as slick as a [*] on wet road paint tho (only signs and arrows)It also a pain in the a hole to detail if you go with a very low profile (30 or 35) but I guess that would depend on a detailer you use. If you got extreme camber this tire might not be for you as it got asymmetrical tread pattern and cannot be flipped for an even wear. Overall I love this tire, it's the best you can buy in it's price range and in most cases better than more expensive competition. PS. If someone buys this tires because of my review............I better get commissions. (*_*)Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Excellent value Overall Rating: 4 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: SFJim (San Francisco, CA)Comments: I put these on right before a 1000mile road trip and couldn't be happier with the performance. Great grip, same/low noise as my previous OEM tires (Michelin Sports). I only gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because this is my 2nd set of tires I've bought for this car so I don't have too much to compare to.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Service Comments: I called the 1800 number to order my tires and make sure delivery times would meet my expectations. The rep on the phone was very professional, and was able to verify my sizes were in stock as well as confirm delivery date. I would definately recommend!!!Buy these tires! Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Yellow13 (Idaho Falls, Idaho)Comments: I drive a 95 BMW M3 and these are hands down the best tire I have had on this car. These tires grip like glue in wet or dry. They are very quiet on the highway and they just look really cool. I get compliments on them all the time. I would recomend them over other high preformance tires.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses The best for High Performance Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Ant (Fort Lauderdale, FL)Comments: I used these tires to replace my Goodyear GS-D3. In comparison the Ultrac cost less, are stickier and last slightly longer. I'm running these on my CTS-V, after 15,000 miles I'm purchasing 2 more for the rear but the front tires are in excellent shape, which isn't abnormal for a high powered rear wheel drive for which I never rotate tires. I feel very safe pushing these tires at high speed or commuting in the rain. I only wish they would make a 275/40/18 so I can stagger the tires.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Best performance (street) tires!!! Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Jimmy (Plano, TX)Comments: These replaced Toyo T1-R's (& Michelin PS2's prior) & I highly recommend them! Best street performance tires regardless of price. Handles & grips as good as the PS2's yet they're 50% of the price.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great Tire, Terrific Price, Fast Ship Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Felix the Cat (Los Gatos, CA)Comments: I drive a 2006 M3, a lot! I've gone thru SP2s, Conts., and others, before I tried these, which is too bad because by far these tires are the best tires in terms of wear and traction in all types of driving at very fast speeds and most any condition. Of course, these are terrible in snowy conditions but, what racing tire isn't. On the other hand, in rain, i rarely, if ever, feel these slip. By the way, I had a previous M3 that spun out all the time on the Conts. in the rain--may it rest in peace. The rears wear down quicker than the fronts but, not nearly as bad as the other brands. I will never own a daily sport vehicle with any other "tyre" on it, period.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Fantastic Tire!! Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: Edram454 (Miami)Comments: Great tire at a great price. Put them on my Corvette and immediately noticed a significant difference from the factory run flats. Does EVERYTHING better. A great value for excellent performing tires. I always get compliments on it's unique tread pattern and agressive foot print. Truly would not waste my money or time trying any other tire for my Corvette. Quiet, handles great, accelerates and sticks nicely...what more do you want!!Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses Great bang-for-buck tire Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)Bottom Line: recommendedReview by: s1appy (Sterling, VA)Comments: Bought 295/35-18's for the rear wheels of my 2002 Corvette Z06. I have only put about 100 miles on these tires. So far they are excellent and provide high grip, great cornering and ride quiet on the streets. Excellent bang-for-buck tire.Pros Car & Truck Describe Yourself Best Uses I love this tire!
