yo so my 20s have arrived and im not on the hunt for some 235/35/20s and 275/30/20s to go on them

i had my mind set on either

Yokohama V105
Hankook S1 Evo2
Bridgestone Potenza S001

throwing another in the mix what are Vredestein like? im looking at the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti. any one have any experience?

cheers

[Rbrown]

Not used the vredstein ultrac vorti, but have used the wintrac extreme for last 5 years through winter. Think they are great tyres.

Know some Dutch people who swear by the brand.

Appreciate this doesn't really help you. But brand is strong.

[Piggin]

Been very happy with my Vredestein Ultrac Vorti.
Had them on all winter without any issues.
No extra road noise & I haven't put it through a hedge backwards yet

The reviews for the Hankooks do look really good considering how cheap they are! Worth a try I'd say.

[simon the pieman]

I've had the hankooks on 20" 405m's. No complaints here.
Extremely good value.
Although I had 255/30/20 on the rears

You're tempting to get them next time, as I go through tyres so quick with the mileage I do!

Hugely tempting value if changing all 4!

[mikeoz]

Yeah made​ sense really. I don't do a lot of miles but want decent tyres as i go to Germany 4/5 times a year.
I won't use the performance of say MP4s 95% of the year.

[Smee]

ps4s are just to expensive for me.

hankooks yokos are coming in at around 630 as are the Vredestein.

the hankooks are out of stock in 235/35/20s and 275/30/20s

i need tyres looking at my 20s in the corner of the room is killing me lol

Got my hankooks rears from oponeo for £149 each delivered. So you should be able to better than £630 unless that price was with fitting

A little off topic (so apologies for that!) but at the weekend I checked the remaining tread on my tyres (conventional Goodyear AS2's which were fitted as a set to replace the original Bridgestone run-flats about 12k miles ago). Have to say I was very pleasantly surprised to find they were still at 6mm all round; suggests I should get at least 30k miles from the set which I think is pretty reasonable considering the power and torque they're handling.

I admit I'm no boy racer throwing it round every corner but I do make decent progress when the opportunity arises and my mileage certainly isn't all straight up and down motorways; perhaps an upside with X-Drive is it's kind on tyres?!

Standard size for the 405m rears 255/30/20.

[CazuaLLUK]

Really happy with my Kumho PS91's but they dont make them in 275/30's!

[Cuninho]

Im still rolling on my bad boy factory default Pirelli P Zero RFT.

First idea was to replace them the day I bought the car but still have them on a year later. Also, they were fine in through the whole winter.

Still might change them as they are quite harsh on bumps etc but man theyre an improvement over them damn Bridgestone Potenza things.

Wish I had the money to just spunk on PS4s though to be honest.

I did the same, leaving my p zero's on for nearly 2 years as really didn't find them too bad considering the 20's

After finding an egg on one wall i bit the bullet with mpss all round and really can't believe the difference they've made. Definitely recommend the switch to non rft!

[Piggin]

You may also want to purchase a set of these so you are not having to strip down your original wheels.

hankooks at a local are £658 fitted... appears hankook stock is very low at present so not they can get them in though :'(

yea see my problem with after market is im 8.5" front and 10" rear so i need 235/35/20 and 275/30/20

i could save £50 and a head ache if i had standard OEM size tyres but i dont want to much stretch

I've just got down to around a 3mm limit on my Bridgstones with ~35k on them, can't really grumble and that, albeit that they are not rated for performance, they've held up well.

Good to hear, I have my MPSS going on this week to replace the outgoing Bridgestone Potenza's

[mikeoz]

I got my Hankook s1Evo 2 x4 on 19" for well under £600 getting fitted sat morning
