Yes the treadwear is 280.

 

Tazz,

ever get them on?

 

Any update on how these tires performed on your car?? I am in need of getting some new meats and I was going to go with the Toyo Proxes T1R's again, but im thinking they are just too damn expensive and these look like a good replacement for a lot less. Also, what is the difference in aspect ratios of 35 and 30? I want the tire to be as low profile as possible. Thanks.

 

that is decent for a sports tire nothing like the kdsws or goodyears f1s

 

Luv the vred's good traction, low noise, they even worked in the rain (yeah, we had rain the other day for once...). Good deal for the money, Squeal just a little on really hard corners, but the passenger usually drowns 'em out......

Profile: smaller no. is lower profile: 30 is hieght 30% of section width, so the 275/30 is about the same diameter as the stock 255/35.

 

where did you get your vred's? have you tracked them (ie. autox or road race), if so, how is traction?

 

So far I've been really happy with my Falken 452's
I'm running
235/35-19 front. ($146.80)
275/30-20 rear ($193.60)

or stock:

225/40-18 ($131.90)
275/35-19 ($276.00) (Not OEM but fits nice)

~200 miles on them and very good in rain. The 2nd time this year my xFire got wet!

Great ride and very quiet.

The Vredsteins on this site are even cheaper. I had very good customer service too.

 

Maxcichon, those Falken's look VERY good. I like the 452's and the 451's. I was thinking about Yokohama S Advan's, but I like these better and they are better priced.

Like I said, I'm very happy. Great for the price and very popular with the BMW and Lexus crowd. A bit softer sidewall is what gives the nice ride, so I can't recommend them for autoxing.

I think the 451's are discontinued, so if they were available they are probably new old stock-beware!
