Is anyone out there running Vredestein tires or had experience of them ?
I had been looking at Michelins but they are getting a bit expensive and a Jaguar owner recommended Vredesteins.
I'm looking at the "Sprint + " Any comments anyone ?

Re: Vredestein tires anyone ?
I vote for the Michelins. I did try several other brands some time ago - but ended up w/ the Michelins as they glue the car to the road and are not as loud as most of the others. If you are on the stock original route then go for Pirellis, but I doubt that the P6 are still made.

Re: Vredestein tires anyone ?
All the spiders had 13" 165HR13 Michelin XAS as factory tires with the option from about 1980 for 14" on P6's
XAS's no longer made but could get XAS FF's for about $350 each ($1750 for 5) plus fitting & balancing, hence looking at other options.
A previous owner put it on 14' ROH wheels & I just spent $900 on cromodoras & refinishing same, so another $1800+ equals a sore wallet.
