Sessanta on fronts/Vorti on rear?

Post by eyup » Mon Mar 17, 2014 9:15 pm

Hi all,

Can anyone see much of a problem with used Vredestein Sessanta (4mm remaning) on fronts with new Vorti's on the rear?

I normally opt for Sessantas but comparing Camskill v mytyres Vorti's would be only £6.50 more so I instinct says better going for the higher rated tyre. Not to mention Sessanta more expensive at Mytyres for some reason.

What is the real life difference between in EU wet ratings C (Sessanta) and B (Vorti)?

Cheers guys

Thats what I'm running now, if and when the fronts need replacing I will swap to the newer Vortis :D

No worries Mr Wilks I knew they needed replacing.

Replaced with the same. Good handling with the Sessanta's on the rear, great in the wet and dry :thumbsup:
