Mine are finally broken in and are sticking nicely. I don't have a track day to compare, but for street driving, they're great. They are a little stiffer on the any impacts, an thus a little louder as well on impact; this is expected given the stiffer sidewall. .

Thanks Greg for your feedback -- I have never had an issue with a tire myself either, but was food for thought since the M3 has no spare or RFT. I personally I think its worth the gamble since these tires seem to be an incredible value

Left flat
Mine has a spare, but then that's another thread. I also carry a plug kit.

im sorry if that sounded ignorant, but the tire itself suck!
I said that u cant compare a PS2 with a Vredestein! They dont play in the same league. Anyways, You have a $70K car and you trying to safe some money on tires... I had the Vredestein before and I was really disappointed IMO Last edited by Realpimp23; 02-02-2010 at 02:25 PM.. |

I did a lot of research on these tires before ordering a set. The responses were overwhelmingly positive. It seems they are a little greasy before break-in but after that they perform well. It'll be a few more weeks before I can add my own personal review.

I think his handle says it all, but the Vred tread is pretty pimp, IMO.

This thread is great. Going to get a set of these. Thanks for all the info!
Stupid question...do new tires require new TPMS too or can I reuse the stock ones? Thanks!

You can reuse the OEM ones. After several years the batteries will give out, though.

I've had a full set installed by my BMW dealer last Tuesday and they reinstalled the OEM TPMS sensors. So far I hae no complaints with the Vred's. And in wet conditions, I find them a little better than the PS2.
