Cheaper Replacement for PS2's
These PS2's are so damn expensive...I want to have some fun with the car and kick the rear loose every now and then but these tires are so pricey haha
Are there any cheaper tires out there that offer the same or close performance of the PS2's wet and dry? Thanks -Krozi

They're not as well known, but the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's are pretty much the consensus for similar, if not better, performance compared to the PS2's and cost about half as much. I haven't seen anything but positive reviews on them. WheelSTO is one of the only vendors that carry them on the forums so shoot them a PM

I have 2 sets, one for DD and one for track/Autox. The threadwear on these is phenomenal, waaay better than the PS2's. After my first day at track with PS2, I had gouges in the sidewalls and big chunks of rubber missing from the thread area. The Ps2's lasted about 7K miles. The Vreds have gone through 5 track days and about 12 autox, no chunking/gouging and still reasonable thread for a few more Autox. The Vreds do get noticeably louder as the wear down, it is so noticeable when I switch from my DD set to the track set. They're also awesome in the rain. Only problem is they don't have exact OEM sizes (I only know about 18's) so you may end up with a wider but slightly lower sidewall, which kinda makes it look like it needs a drop.

The big question is V12 vs. Vreds.
Someone here had the V12's and said they chuncked up after a day at the track, but that was just one person. My Vreds have held up very well.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

we are vendors for both the ventus Evo K110 and the Vred Ultrac and for street daily driving, the feel and noise level of the Vred is a lot better than the Hankook Ventus Evo K110.
as for price: Hankook < Vredestein << Michelin PS2

i really like the AD08 but for everyday driving, it has relatively shorter life, in my opinion.
but this rubber is amazing on dry conditions. it'd like putting your car on rails.
