Default New Vredesteins!!!

Just ordered a set of Vredestein Ultrac Senssatas. Can't wait to get these after all of the favorable reviews I've seen. That, and the 7 year old Kuhmo Ecsta's are pretty worn out!!!

I have had them on my Vette for almost three years, best tires I have ever owned TryNkeepUp turned me on to them; she embarrassed a lot of drivers at Watkins Glen with her Vette running on Vredesteins. Of course her driving talent also had something to do with it too
