Vredstein or Sumitomo?

so if you could get both tires (245/35/19 - 275/30/19) for the same price, would you go with Vredstein Ultrac Sessantas or Sumitomo HTR Z iii ?

i was set on the sumitomos but now i dont know

thank you!

If you already had a set of Sumitomo tires, i would try out the Vredstein Ultrac Sessantas just to see how they compare.

Can't speak about the performance of either tire, but based on tread design alone I'd choose the Giugiaro-designed Vredesteins.

ha ha! took the words right out of my mouth! my yokohamas Advans are working well with 1,500 miles on them you cant tell they arent brand new. all season high performance for me from now on. even with the cheap price of these two tires mentioned i still cant bring myself to go with them.
