Hey Alex, YES they are very great tires for the price.
Let me know if you need a set man. I'm in the valley.

I've heard nothing but good things about them . . .
Hit me up if you need a set Alex.

I pull 1.8 sixty foot times on these. I also like how quiet they are.

FotiosF90M5 · 07-24-2009, 12:45 PM

I really want to try these tires out but the tread design makes them appear thinner than they really are. I might give them a shot anyway. the sidewall looks good though.

FotiosF90M5 · 07-24-2009, 12:48 PM

where can u buy these and do they run thin or wide? thanks in advance guys.

I just bought a 06 330i and because it was a lease return it has new run flats on it. I plan on buying a set of these and when one of the Bridgestones has an issue and needs to be replaced I will put these on. I can afford any tire I want to put on there but I have researched just about every tire that comes in the factory sizes and these are the only ones that get universal praise. I don't really care for the tread design but the performance seems to be very strong which combined with being quite and getting decent tread life meets all of my criteria for a good tire at any price. I have found several places but tires-easy.com seems to be the best prices I have found so far. I really wish Tirerack would carry them I suspect they would be a big hit.

i called them about that last year..they refuse to deal with them..go figure

pruettfan · 07-26-2009, 05:28 AM

I guess I will just go through tires-easy for these then. I have had my car for two weeks and have driven it 2,000 miles so it won't be too long before I have to put these on.

+1. Got my set from them.

Sniz · 07-27-2009, 01:45 PM

I have them on my m3 and love them, dont hesitate to give them a shot.

Bobble · 07-27-2009, 02:17 PM

What's even funnier to me than the lack of negative reviews and lack of knowledge is Vredstein has been making and selling tires forever! I had them in the 70's on several cars and hooked up a friend with an E46 M3 with a set a couple of years ago. I had them on my E46 got cheap and replaced them with a Korean tire, no names, and am very displeased with the noise of those. Should have got another set of Vredsteins'. Theses wil go on the E90 as soon and the RFT's die or plus 1 rims come into the equation!

Park2670 · 07-27-2009, 11:25 PM

Always liked them when I had the Vreds on the Z4M... But I found them a bit loud. But that car is loud too, so not a huge change.

the GLI came with RC's

I'm running RCJ's, big difference in the actual wheel. Mine are forged, rare, and seriously lightweight. Cost over 4k new!

Ahh! Thank you. I didn't realize these were forged. Figured they were cast just like the GLI's RCs. They do look similar though.

look very similar indeed, except mine are a little more concave since they are 9" wide on all 4 corners........other than that they say Forged on them in little lettering in between 2 spokes.

thats about it!
