When I picked up the Ruby in Houston I got caught in Rain from Houtson to Memphis. I was doing 65 MPH with no problems.

I am using stock size. what are the Vredestein tires? never heard of them. I am looking for something I can track maybe once or twice a year as well as handling well on the street and not completely suck if I get caught in the rain on a long road trip.

Good tire and they come in 275x40/315x35 sizes. Well priced w good reviews.
I like the look of the tire also. Seems like the closest dealer here is in Waukegan.
Website sort of sucks but www.vredestein.com. Good luck.

I have the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta that were on my car when I bought it last year. They track well if you get caught in the rain and there is not a lot of road noise with them. If I decide to find a set of sawblades for my car I will probably buy another set of them.
