I will be looking to source tyres at some time soon.

Last option I picked was Toyo Proxes T1r on the front and they are not easy to find, anyone tried the Vredestein yet ?

Thankyou

I have them on my S type R
Good tyres but they loose traction with heavy acceleration, causing traction control to step in.
My next plan is a quaife LSD
I am on my second set
The first were ruined by poor geometry set up on the front.
I got the tyres from clickontyres.co.uk
They offered the best value on delivered tyres.

I too have them on my STR. 19"

They apparently have a rep' to wear on the edges quickly.
I found their web page pressure recomendations and it says 49psi front, 46psi rear!!!

Far too hard for me, so I run a bit lower.

I thought they were no longer in production?
Replaced with a newer design?

Had them on mine for the last couple of years, good grip, good wear, good in wet. Only issue is outside edges are not very built up, and can give impression of tyre wear more than is actual, would have them again except that the car is now for sale in the classifieds.
