Default vredestein's forte lies in their snow compound.

afaik their summer tires are merely above average. they make probably the best snow tire on the market, though.

Default their summer tires are excellent

EVO did a review that included the Ultrac Sessanta and it was their top choice, beating out every other major brand of ultra high performance tire out there (think of all the uber expensive names you know).

I had PS1's on my M5, and I have Ultrac Sessanta's now. I don't see anything being worth the extra cash for PS1/PS2's for street driving.

Maybe Der Kimbo can elaborate more. It was his company that was selling them I think.

Default They have their pros anc cons...

The Ultrac Sessanta's have scored higher in magazine tests than the PS2's. They have excellent wet and dry handling characteristics. However, they are a heavier tire, have the highest rolling resistance, and highest noise levels compared to the competition.

Default do you have any #'s on the later

Compared to the other manjor brand name ultra high performance tires everyone knows about?

I couldn't tell a difference in noise between the Ultrac Sessanta's and the PS1's on the M5. Could be because my exhaust is loud too :/

Default I used to but not any more...

The noise level is not too apparant on the narrower width tires. But on my RS4, we put 275 width all around and it is extremely loud.
