Hey Terry...
Jus wanted yer input on those vredestein rubber...
I have a pair of them on my rear wheels at the moment and I like em alot. So much that I got them on my dad's lexus when he needed new tires......they are great from the couple hundred miles that I have put on them...
any thoughts from you?

So far, so good for me, too. I wanted the Toyo T1R's, but they've been on some major backorder for a while, so Sonic told me about these cheap tires. I read up on em, and they get good reviews in Europe...quiet, sticky, does well in wet. I figured for that price, it was worth a try. I've only had my tires for little over 1 week so far, but I like em so far. If the characterisitcs stay as such, I'll stick with these tires.

I bought mine through SonicMS. PM opalw208 for prices. I got my set of 20" tires mounted and balance, with tax for $300 less than the 19" PS2's I used to run (unmounted)

looks nice 
but if you paid for exhaust, front and rear upgrades, brakes..
why not just get a real 55k...unless it is one and am just lost?
usa prices on these cars is sooooo cheap every person and his granddad would be driving them here
Europeans get raped on the car prices
nice work though

Yes, Barret told me about those tires - quiet, good quality, and great value!
Doe they appear to be quiet?
