Default Vredestein tires

Has anybody used these tires? AFS puts them on their wheels they sell on ebay. $1400 for the wheel-tire combo. They have a 186 mph rating.

Man, I haven't seen that name in decades!!
Years ago, they were a fairly esoteric brand but had a good reputation.
I'd just figured they had gone out of business, but I'm glad to see them still hanging around.

I have no experience with the current crop of Vredestein tires, haven't even them advertised for sale, let alone tested. They'd probably be okay to use.

All i know, after looking at the vredestein tires, is that the tires are created by Vredestein in partnership with Giugiaro. and i'm not seeing that they produce any tire larger than a 275.
