I got mine from Sorat as well and Shirzad is excellent to deal with. Not sure if he's still doing it but he used to throw in the mounting, balancing, and installation for free!

I put on over 1000km just this weekend going to Seattle and Leavenworth - there were some really rough parts on the I-90 and 97 and the Ultracs handled extremely well.
Checked the wear upon my return and it was minimal.

Enjoy the tires - think you'll really like them
Thanks, and yes I dealed with Shirzad as well!

From what I read they are comparable to the PS3s and a dealer told me Porsche is going to use them as stock tires.

That's a very unusual and cool looking tread pattern! What advantage does it provide?

It fits. I'm running 275's on my 9.5's. 285's will be my next size (it fits).

Sorry it took so long to up date the thread, but I could not comment on the tires if I had not put some mileage on these puppies.

As of today I have just over 2500 Kms on them and I have to say is "WOW!!"

I am very impressed with the Vreds, I have PS2s Michelin's on my wifes M3 convertible and IMHO the Vreds are a lot better and of course the price point is right on the money! ($1066CAN to my door!)

So ever since I installed them the weather in the GTA has been a mess, one day it is hot and the next very cold or raining.

Not good conditions to go out and have fun, but excellent to test out what these tires can do.

About 4 days into having the new rims and tires install we had very heavy rains and of course I was in a hurry to get home (24 was on ) and of course the light changed to red and I had to stop in a hurry (going 70km\hr) and the car just spotted on a dine, no ABS lights or sliding into another car, these tires just stood there ground!

And on the highways they just love to huge the curves (wet or dry)

I also know a member (Dzenno) that uses them on the track and 1/4 mile, he says that they are amazing!

As soon as I install all on my mods I will go there and see for myself what they can do and let you know.

But for now some pics of the set up on my bimmer and a 1 to 5 rating

(1) is poor to (5) is excellent

Road noise (4)
Dry road grip (4)
Wet road grip (4)
Handling (4)
Price (4)
My happiness (4)

Thanks for looking!

P.S. I know I have to lower her a bit!

my friend got these tyres for his 335i e92 even though its stock power, it made a difference. The tyres hook up amazingly well, dunno if its my butt dyno or what but the difference was obvious to say the least.
