I have around 5,000 miles on a set and they are great in the dry and wet. Mine are 245x35x19 on the front and 275x30x19 on the rear. Paid $680 shipped for the set. They are a Dutch company that is OEM on some European BMW and MB models.

Anybody bought any of these lately. They are suppose to be all the rage in Europe. In the Dupont Registry all the time and always hear about Aston's, Ferrari's and Lambos with them. They finally started selling the auto line here in the US recently. I'd love to find a dealer for these in South Florida. Anyone???

Here is their new website. I've attached a pic of the Ultrac from a member that had a set for sale a while back.

This is the link to their newest tire and the one that I am looking for.

Well if the Germans and Italians swear by them there has to be something to them. You know us Americans are always resistant to change!!! LOL Plus it is just nice to talk about something other than Toyo, Nitto and Falken. Plus 2 years from now these will probably be the Toyo and Nitto of the world. How many people on here remember Toyo and Nitto before Fast and the Furious made them a mainstream name? I owned both when most people had no idea who they were. Cool article:

Plus, if they are advertising in the Dupont Registry they have to be doing something right. Do you have any idea how much a full page ad in the Registry costs???

Any dealers in South East Florida can give me a good deal on a set of these I will be the South Florida G35driver guinea pig. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are in the stock 19 sizes. Not sure about the regular Ultrac yet because they are having website issues this evening.

Where did yo guys buy them? I am having a heck of a time finding a dealer that sells them here in Florida. I would like to actually go to the dealer to have them installed that way if I have any issues I can have them serviced. But is there any major mail order place you know of.

Here is a new link about them winning the PowerCar Magazine performance tire test in Germany. I really want to try a set of these tires!!!
