I just bought two sets of these tires for my car. Now for the questions...


How long can I expect these tires to last?

Do any of you have any storage tips for the extra set that I will receive?

Also, are there any other GOOD brands that carry the both of the stock sizes?

NightFlyer Josh on Today is the Vredestein guru.

There's a thread somewhere on this forum with a bunch of tire info that probably hs the info you're looking for.

Oh Sh*t! I have a set of "V's" and can't wait to install them! I currently have them up in the rafters of my garage (heatsealed in plastic). Gonna get the rims cleaned up before the install in a few months. I thought this tire was sold-out and long gone! I got mine from TiresbyWeb. Gonna get another set, if I can for 712's rim-set!

I run the Vredesteins. They've probably got 20,000 on them and a little past halfway done I believe. Also, I do a lot of highway driving.
Great tire for me in that it looks good, handles well, and is very quiet.

In black plastic bags in a cool dark dry environment

I've not driven but I've seen the Vredstein tires in person. The Sportrac-5 seems comparable to the Pilot Exalto which is NLA.

I'd put those on my car before any of the "house brand" tires, Coopers, Fuzion, etc. Any all-4-for-$200 tire is going to be mediocre at best.
