Default Looking at Vredstein sessanta tires

wondering how many people have them and how do you like them? i am looking for a performance tire / summer tire. Also was wondering how big the width i can get for the front and rear on stock 08 wheels, safely for daily driving. Thanks for any help.

there are quite a few threads concerning these tires. do a search with quotes " " and you should find them all over the place. stop looking and buy, they are solid tires from the things ive read.

Everyones first impression is to bash the OP to search but it doesnt work. Overall its a solid tire. Good tire for the price.

these are my next tire. cant beat the bang/buck factor. they arent the best and you can't even side to side rotate them, but damn they are priced well.

They are the latest rage. Never seen any comparative testing.

Here's my opinion:

I feel the Sessantas are very good tires for the street & money. They grip reasonably well, even inthe cold. I was actually surprised when I did NOT experience any white knuckle moment driving in 20 degree weather. However, this is on 275/35/18 fronts and 295/35/18 rears.

That said, these were disappointing on track. IN MY OPINION, these did no better than my OEM Pilot Sports on track even though the Sessantas were much wider than the Michelins. Perhaps I was expecting too much (and the calibration of my butt dyno is admittedly off) , but a couple of other posts seem to concur. WIll be experimenting with a more aggressive camber setting (currently within OEM specs IIRC).

Bottom line: generally, favorable opinion on the tires, especially in relation to cost/performance.

From the research I did, they are a comparable tire to the Toyo T1R, but with a stronger sidewall. I have them on my car and am more than happy with them. I think the biggest thing a person can say about the tire is whether or not they would buy them again.... and I would definitely buy them again

Thanks for posting info and comments.

Questions:
  • What sizes are you running?
  • How do you rate the tire as to (1) noise and (2) comfort?

Here was a big thread about them:

The track guys didn't seem impressed but it seemed fine for daily street driving.

265/35/18 fronts
295/35/18 rears

I didn't drive on my stockers long enough to really compare to them, but they are slightly quieter than my kumho MX tires they replaced. Comfort wise, is next to impossible to give a comparison because they went on the same time as my new suspension setup. with that said, I have no issue with the comfort of my tires.

I have the luxury that not all Z owners have, this isn't my only car, nor is it a car that I drive for anything more than fun. I bet there are better tires out there, but given my needs, I doubt there is a better for the money
