    I need tyres

    Do I go with the tried and tested Michelin's/Conti's or do I try the Vredestein Ultrac's which are basically 100 quid per corner cheaper and get awesome reviews?

    anyone tried the vred's?

        road.

        one or two trackdays a year, max. Track isn't really a consideration in this purchase. I'll get cups for track if i really want to.

            I knew this is what you guys would say:hahaha: but is there any basis for it?

            do you think I would actually notice any difference between the two?

            Vredestein actually have better review than PS2/Supersport!

            I'll probably just cave and buy Michelin, I can't stand mis matched tyres and the Michelin's on the front have quite a bit of life left

              I run Falken FK452's for the road - cica £450 for a set seem pretty good.

              Cups for the track :supz:

                      that test is Pilot Sport 3 (an eco version of the pilot sport and no M3 sizes)

                      at the end of the day you want best grip, dry and wet.

                              Barry Verds are rubbish, i had them before. If you can hold off until Tuesday I have a visit from Michelin and will see how good a price I can get for you.
