Does anyone know how these tires compare with Falken 452's in terms of road noise, dry/wet grip, and treadwear?

No, you cannot swap these in the way you want. They have a designated inside. So even if you swapped them, the same inside will always be inside.

buy a tire thats rotatable? I had Toyos I rotated and IMO it wasnt worth it. It cost like $60 and since the outside edges were toast, cornering in anything but dry pavement was scary, and even then they didnt grab that well. I couldnt wait to get rid of them after the rotation. Now I just buy the cheapest tire I can buy that still offers some sort of performance, and accept that aggressive camber = $$.

The High-Performance tires are a "relatively" new entry for Vredestein in the American market.

The Vredestein tires are excellent tires. We have become one of the countries largest Vredestein distributors in just a years time.

Great tires. Great review. Great to see people happy with the tires.


i just checked this site to see how much they would be shipped to maryland, and it was $798. seems like a good deal to me- i think i will try these in the next few weeks.

No one has experience with both the 452's and the sessanta's?

This weekend, I was able to fit 285/30/19 in the rear (with no fender rolling or cutting, but it's really close) and 255/35/18 in the front. My wheels are the oem forged rays that came on the car. 19x10 Offset +30mm rear, and 18x9 Offset +30mm front.

So far I really like these tires. :-)

Had mine put on my 19" GTS 255/35/19 +17 front and 275/35/19 +18 rear and had have nothing but good with the tire so far. We'll see how they do long term but I am really happy with these tires so far. I don't have rubbing issues unless I hit decent size dip...but that's only happened once so far and I was going a little to fast anyway trying to catch a light. I am dropped with Tanabe GF springs 1" up front and 1 1/2" in the rear.

Well did a two day track event at Buttonwillow config. 13 CW with these tires. I have 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 on 9" and 10.5" SSR Comp wheels.Although they are a good street tire they are not a good track tire compared to the Falken 615,Biridgestone S03, or Mich. PS2 I have tracked in the past.They don't even start out good and then get greasy like some tires do when they get hot.They do have a nice linear grip level that is easy to drift if you like that kind of driving style. I had pro racer Billy Johnson drive my car for a full TTsession and he agreed that it is not a very good street tire for track events.

Do you have any rubbing or problem with VDC?

With same wheel and no lowering, How do u feel about fitting 255/40-18" front and 285/35-19" rear?

Can you also post pix of how "close" is ur rear and front???

Also depends on your wheel offset.I have found that a 35mm offset(which is close to OEM) pretty much centers the wheel between the fender and shock if you don't have coilovers.

I just ordered a set of the 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. Figured I'd give them a shot since they're close to half the cost of the PS2's and people have been fairly positive with their responses so far. I should get these in time to mount on my new wheels for ZDayZ. Really hope I'm not stuck with my winter all-seasons.

Some prices I found from retailers, I was considering the 275/30 295/30 set as an alternative as most dealers did not have 275/35 in stock.

Werbany Tire Town - Local shop to me. No 19" tires stocked. 275/35 on 2 week order from warehouse.
275/30 ZR 19 - $249
295/30 ZR 19 - $279
255/35 ZR 19 - $279
275/35 ZR 19 - $249
Shipping 0 - Tax 7%

Strictly Foreign - They have all sizes in stock but shipping rates sucked from PA to NJ.
275/30 ZR 19 - $210
295/30 ZR 19 - $240
255/35 ZR 19 - $230
275/35 ZR 19 - $195
Shipping $196.80

Sportcompactonly - Some online shop
275/30 ZR 19 - $209.97
295/30 ZR 19 - $239.97
255/35 ZR 19 - $202.97
275/35 ZR 19 - $209.99
Shipping $108.13

AFS Wheel
275/30 ZR 19 - $210
295/30 ZR 19 - $220
255/35 ZR 19 - $210
275/35 ZR 19 - $210 out of stock, back order, no ETA
Shipping is $20 per tire

In the end, I bought from a positively rated seller on eBay who agreed to $831 shipped for the 255/275 combo. He had the 255/35/19 for $199 each / shipped, buy it now only. The rears were $250 each / shipped, but had option for best offer. I proposed $800, he counter offered with $825 + $6 insurance.

This is disappointing. I have the same sizes and was looking forward to tracking these at Pocono and possibly Thunderbolt/NJ Motorsports Park and Lime Rock. Curious as to the air pressure you were running. Thanks.
