I like the Vredestein tires. They "look" alright and perform pretty well.



Just my humble 2 cents....

Who cares what a tire looks like? As long as it performs?

My Nitto NT05s look like slicks even though they are brand new two days ago! They are like gum!

I agree guys, Nitto has the best looking tires. For some reason i feel they tend to look a hair narrower than say Perreli's.
