Default Vredestein Tires

Has anybody used the Vredestein Sessanta tires? They come in both C5 and Z06 sizes and they've got a great looking tread design. But, there's not much technical data on their web page or any other web page I've found. What have you found, heard, whatever?

My Z is running Vredestein Ultrac 275/30/ZR19 Rear and 245/35/19 Front, great tire when heated up no road noise and at 150mph they feel great!! I would buy again.

Why didn't you get them in the Z sizes?

Well, that sounds pretty good and the Sessantas are supposed to be even better so maybe I'll try a set. Thanks for the feedback.
