I got mine from Tom's. I love the tires and they hook up like crazy. I would buy them again when the time comes. No bump steer either like the supercars. Vredesteins have been good to me. I have close to 10 k on them now. I think at the time they were judt under 600 delivered.

Need info from someone running Vredsetein sessanta tires. How are they in rain--wet conditions and at temperatures in 40's--say during April, May, October, November?

only been in the rain once, but it was pouring and they sessanta's were head and shoulders above the supercars. They are great in the cold weather also, but again I am comparing them to the SC's. I could break the SC's loose on anything, rain cold pavement at 70 miles an hour in third gear. These tires hook up great.
