non run flats Vredestein sessanta or Vredestein cento

[necc]

Hello I need to remove my run flats after driving my friends car same model just no run flats
It’s like a different car.

I have been reading about Vredestein sessanta and vredestein Cento on the tyremen web site
http://www.tyremen.co.uk/range/vredestein-ultrac-c...
http://www.tyremen.co.uk/range/vredestein-ultrac-s...

But would be interested in if anybody as changed from run flats to the vredestein sessanta or cento?

Thanks

What car is it? The ultrac Sessanta is the more performance focused tyre of the two so go for that if it's a performance car. The Cento is more of a touring tyre.

I never got on with the Senns on my STI but I've just bought some Ultracs for the front on my Golf as they seem to be a good daily drive tyre and you can't argue with the price from those guys.

The ultrac sessanta is a good tyre, but due to the age of the design it's no longer a great tyre. There are plenty of better options on the market now.

I've had a lot of the modern tyres (P Zero Rosso's, Potenza's, Toyos, PS2's) and have currently got sessantas and am now a very big fan of them. Really impressive tyre.

WTF? How is it not still a great tyre, performance wise it wipes the floor with others in tests.

It once came second in the EVO tyre test, but that was 2007.

Now:

9th: 2010 Auto Zeitung Ultra High Performance Summer Tyre Test (235/40 r18)
9th: 2010 AMS Premium Brand Tyre Test (245/45 r17 )
9th: 2010 Sport Auto Ultra High Performance Tyre Test (235/35 r19)

That's the bottom 3 of every test.

I bow to your superior knowledge, still reckon they are a cracking tyre if you buy them at the right price.
