295 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta width vs other 295 tires
I was wondering if anyone knows how the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 295-35-18 compares width wise to other tires in that size.

295 is the width.....so divide 295 by 25.4 mm and you will get the width in inches. Can you handle that? LOL

check printed section width of the various tires. there's a solid 1/2" variance between different makes of 295 35 18.

I have the Vredestein 295 tires but in 19 inch.
Unfortunately I don't know how they compare to other tires width wise but they seem to grip well and perform very well in wet weather.
However, I will be going to a wider tire in the rear. I went with a wider wheel and 295 looks way too thin for my liking. I would also want a taller side profile. Will you be using them on stock wheels?

I had PS2's before I had the Vreds, both in 295 width. Same size tires on the same wheels. The Michelin had a slightly wider appearance due to squarer shoulders, the Vred is more round. However the price and performance of the Vred outweighs that over the Michelin.
