Just a quick one i wondered if anyone has used these tyres before, i am after changing my re050 for new more grippy tyre and did thinking of the r888 but saw these and they had a good write up

VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA

cheers phil

 

[Harv]

Never used them but I think the VREDESTEIN's are pretty good, haven't heard anything bad about them anyway.

Hatton will know

Havent used them myself but know of a few who have and they say they are very grippy both dry and wet.

I have michelin exelto 2s on mine and they are fantastic but come at a price.

I would go R888's

I would too, but there not going to be great in the winter and wont last very long due to there soft compound!

This is true. They are like.....really awesome!

 

[phils2k]

well i will be fitting them on thursday so we will see what they are like, just got to figure out pressure for them now

 

[phils2k]

just looked on the verdestein site, and it sates for the S2000 rear tyre pressure 2.9 bar (42 psi) does that seem alot

 

[J7]

Thats crazy high. Even with soft side wall toyos 36psi was a touch to much.

Try 32 and see how it feels mate.

 

[phils2k]

yeah i will, going for a blat still tomorrow night, then the trip to see you fri should be able to figure out best

 

[Harv]

Let us know what you think of them once scrubbed in a bit

 

[phils2k]

scrub them in-about 10 mins if i keep flooring it

 

[Harv]

thats a good point, well made lol

 

[phils2k]

hearing some good reports on them so will definitley let you know how they are

 

[Fire_2]

42psi is a joke,

36, as jay said tops

I run my 888's 30psi all round

 

[chris_ep3-r]

I have them - i cant rate them highly enough!!

Maximum pressure for Parada spec 2's (215/40/17) is 44psi. Don't think I'd be wanting to put that much in!
