Vredestein Sessanta Ultrac

so i was looking at tires...
was planning either to with Falken 452 or Nitto NT555

but then i found a shop locally..
245/35/20 Vredestein Sessanta Ultrac (european) --- CAD $176 (143 USD)
275/35/20 Vredestein Sessanta Ultrac (european) --- CAD $215 (173 USD)

i run on Axis Penta 20x9/ x10 +25offset\
the tire shop said i have no problem running 35s rear cuz is under the 3% of oem blah blah blah...
thats wht he told me.

i saw review on forum that they are "AWESOME"
so...they really really good??

liek way better than Falken?

no 35 in front, and 30 rear is the closest you can get to factory Spec.

do not put 35 in the rear, it will throw your speedo off, and a few other things.

Would you share with me the coordinates of the shop where you got the Ultrac in BC. I am located in Montreal and i want a set for my M45. Your prices seem very good in CAD $$$.

Thanks

you shouldnt worry about it. The trick is, one in the front seat buckled in (make sure that you do niot put the tires flat, but make them stick out in the same direction as if they are on the car) feed the seat belt through the spokes. the other 2 the same way in the back seat, and one in the trunk. Ive done this with 20's so you should be all set.

DAMN DAMN DAMN!
If they only made a 285/35/19...that would be perfect for some 10.5 Volks out back...275 seems a bit stretched to me as I've heard these tires tend to run a bit narrow...
Any opinions...? I know 245/35 and 275/35 seem to be standard sizes for those running 9.5/10.5 Volks...

Anyone confirm if these can be swapped side to side for rotational differences? ie.. are they directional? The tire test I saw shows them being run both ways even though the tread looks asymmetric

Its not a huge deal, but it will throw your speedo off bu about 3-5 miles. a few opther things is that the handling will not be to the factory spec, but im not sure if that would even be noticable. also acceloration may decrease a bit because of the higher side wall,a dn it would take more force to spinn the wheel. These arent huge issues, but can be avoided by staying w/30 in the back and 35 in the front when going w/ 20's

has anyone ever ordered from plussizerim.com? They carry the Vredestein Sessantas as well (only a couple of size choices) but offer free shipping and great prices

I haven't found out much about the site, any reviews, etc...so anything you know about the site would be helpful! I'm not one to order from an unknown site.

direct link to the 19"s: http://www.plussizerim.com/tires-tire-c-22_33.html
