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.

Anyone know how the tread width and sidewall on these tires compares to BFG KDW2's of the same size? I may be possibly interested in grabbing some of these but fitment is tough with my offsets and KDW's.
I wish they had a spreadsheet of actual dimensions for each size like the other large tire manufacturers have...

i really want to get a set of these, but my one VW loving friend said hes only heard bad things about these tires on their forum, feathering and such. Wondering if it only with the smaller sized tires and since those VW guys run a mean camber on their cars.

Im debating what to put on my SF-Challenge 19"s at the moment. Ive got
9.5" wide fronts with a +23 offset and a 10.5" wide rear with a +28.
Rim protection is pretty crucial, and judging by the pics Jason333 has posted:
( http://shaqdiesel.smugmug.com/galler...ohZC#269400220 )
. . . it looks like the 295/30-19 give a good amount on the rear, on the front i was thinking 265/30-19, though this was when i was thinling of T1-Rs and it seems that the Vredesteins have a bigger footprint so maybe the 255/35-19 is where its at.
Cruicially i want no ribbing issues, and good rim protection and no VDC issues
Anyone got any feedback on those sizes?
cheers

After looking through this thread and doing some research as well I went shopping on the good old WWW and found a company called Performance Plus , found the Vredestin Brand looked up my sizing 245/35/19 , 275/35/19 and the pricing knocked my socks off 245 series was $156.00 each and the 275 series was $189.00 shipping was only $19.00 .... Total was $709.00 . Now I double checked this pricing to make sure this is the same brand as this thread is talking about and it is .. so I purchased 4 tires , let's see if I get a e-mail from them . http://www.performanceplustire.com/p...res#prodAnchor
Update: I received a call yesterday and with shipping & taxes(duty,etc) the final bill was $920.00 .

thanks for the feedback, yeah, just need to make sure im not going to have rubbing issues. Im dropped a little on HotChkis. Want rim protection, but then again, i dont wonna rub, Im not sure 285/30's would cut it in the rim protection department.
We got small lanes, and wide ignorant buses coming the otherway, sometimes pavement (sidewalk ) is only option, otherwise, id give them a wide birth at all times.

So, I got a 275/35/19 in to put on the front of my new wheels and I measured it up to my old 265/35/19 PS2's that were on my old wheels. The width is about the same, the PS2 might actually be a mm or two bigger, but the sidewall of the Vredesteins are taller than the PS2. I wish it was the other way around.
The one thing I also don't like is that these tires offer no rim protection. The PS2's has the rubber coming out past the wheel lip, which is probably due to how they are designed to be mounted.
Other than that, so far the ride has been good and the performance of the tires seem to be on par with PS2's although I have not pushed it yet.

So wait, these are or arent directional, or asemetrical or whatever? Im confused, I know with my Kumho MX I swaped rears from rim to rim to get the wear even on the tires. Can I do that with these? Can someone take a pic from behind the car so I can see the tread on both rear wheels. Thanks

See that's the thing, I have a lil agressive camber so when the inside of the tire shows wear I usuallt pull the tires from the wheels and have them switched sides so the outside now becomes the inside to wear the tires evenly.... Would this wok with this tire, it doesn't look like it while it would work with my Kumho's to get even wear out of the tires.
