I just put them on the rears since my TOYO's were low on tread....my buddy got them for me to try out....so far so good. real quiet and the tread design is unique. the one's I'm running are the Vred..sessenta(?)

apparently the Italians have designed them and these tires are a big hit in Europe....

(my buddy sells them for $179 each for the rears I have--275/30/20)

I may switch out the fronts once they wear down more....

It's a Dutch tyre, recently acquired (either whole or a stake, can't remember) by a Russian company.

Quoting Nigel Powers "There are two kinds of people I can't stand in this world: people who can't tolerate other people's cultures, and the DUTCH..."

I don't have many miles on them to assess longevity, but they handle well, have good traction and are very quiet. I would highly recommend them especially since they are a little more than half the price of a comparable Michelin tire.

They are definately Holland or Netherlands Manufacturer. They have always made bicycle tires, and if you watch any Euro track rascing you will see their banners.

I have a new set of 18's still with the tags on the tires, mounted and balanced I was thinking of selling.

The wheels are also brand new with center caps.
The specs are tires:
Vrdesteins Ultrac Giugiaro
245/45 zr18 w

The wheels are
9Jx18H2 ET 37
Part No.
A215 400 00 02

$1750.00 plus shipping.

Really nice set up. I need to get my camera back from my daughter to send photos.

The tire manufacturer is from Netherland. You can enter their website to confirm that if you're so desirer.
