Vredestein tires

I first tried the Yokohama's at a 300 ware and with moderately aggressive Driving while on holidays they made it home after 4500 k and only had 30 percent left on them. (the car was loaded with camping gear)
a used set on Michelins that were on some rims I bought made most of the next summer but I cut the season short. Last season I ran the Falken ZE 502 and they are a harder tire around the 400 ware which seem to last longer but IMO the Michelins are a quieter tire.

yokos before and after 5500k

the use Michelins

Then the new Falkens

Hello Brad- I hear you!

Yeah, I've vaporized a few Goodyear blimps worth of tire rubber since I bought my 928! I've enjoyed every bit of it, so it is money well spent.

I went to post a picture of these new tires, but the pic from my camera is apparently too big? I'm on a Mac now, and don't have the photoshop I had three years ago that would have easily changed the format and downsized the file....

I still think Apple products are better-

Normy,

You can use a file hosting site such as Photobucket for your pictures. Just copy and paste the IMG code once uploaded.

I think that I would rather have the tread design on my tires created by a tire engineer than by an Italian designer...

Yeah, I thought about that.

-Well, the company has been around for a long time, and the treadwear number of 280 is harder than the 200 on those Falkens, so I'm hoping to get more than a few thousand miles out of them. And I want the same brand all around, so next year I'll put the Vredesteins on the back and give them a try.

I'm sure that they will last longer than the 2500 miles or so that I'm getting out of the Falkens!
