Serious Rubber

hmmmmm.... tempting then as an improved ride and no (or reduced) tramlining would be nice.

Is the difference massively different?
The difference IMO is massive...
 
I have covered about 2k miles in mine now.. they are absolutely rubbish in the snow... even worse then the bridgestones...

But in the wet and dry they are fantastic... but my rears seem to be wearing very fast.... they def will not last as long as the Bridgestones did (15k miles and still had 4mm left)
 
Thats odd, the fellas on the Disco 3 forum rave about the wear rate. The standard fit Pirellis lasted 22k. Forum members indicate they last 40k. I know its not a performance car but it tips the scale at 3ton!

I would say that on my wifes A4 the sessantas are about half way now at 17k. Again its 4wd but it's 230bhp and lots of torque it is similar to the 3.0ltr.

The Bridgestones on the rear of my zed, seem to be about 2.5mm in 6k

I wonder if they've changed the compound on the vreds?

I bought my car with 7.5k miles on it... and the stock rear tyres had around 6mm left.. so maybe the previous owner drove like miss daisy while i have a heavy right foot?

But i think i will probably get under 10k miles out of my Vreds (2k miles and maybe down to 6mm already!)... certainly seem like they are a softer compound then the bridgestones.

I run the same stock psi for mine... i did play around with the pressure and found stock pressure just right.. over inflating them a little made them feel like the rft's!
 
Remember - The Vreds are half the cost! So even if the wear rate is not quite as good, the ride its said is much improved, so overall thats a result.

The Sessantas are on my shopping list very soon!
