Car is planted even in the wet, only silly amounts of throttle input in 1st, 2nd and 3rd can get them to spin. Very impressed, wouldn't fit anything else now...! Even better in the dry, and even more so once ran in a bit

Being honest was shocked how much better they are, now got a more powerfull car which has more grip using the PSS's than the older less powerfull car with the PS2's. However the big one for me is wet grip, they are night and day different in rainy weather. PS2's would light up instantly these just grip and grip. O.k if being daft can get them to slip but they wont budge in 3rd in soaking rain even at full throttle.

mik_ok said: StefanVXR8 said: think I'll go for Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's. I was thinking about these for "next time" - my mate with the Z4M loves them but I've heard they are slightly softer of sidewall than the RE050A's ? Interested to know what you think. (Braveheart recently fitted a set of these on the rear of his also). edit: forgot to say - I haven't bought tyres from anywhere other than Camskill for years, but 275/35/19 Sessantas are £236 on there vs £197 on mytyres. I'm also interested to hear how the newly-released Falken FK-453 are received. They are already available in VXR8 sizes and the FK-452 always provided an interesting "best of the non-premium-brands for a fraction of the price" offering..... I had them all round on my old 300C SRT8 and they were excellent, very good in the wet, very sticky in the dry, and bloody good value for money, they ran rings around the Goodyear F1 Supercars that Chrysler fitted as standard. I used mytyres last time I think. They did smoke a bit though...................................  Stef
