| Last 2 sets I bought were Vredestein TTrac2 bought on the bay for about £50-£60 each delivered. Very impresseed with them. Quiet and grippy.

| Hi Gareth, I have Vredestein tyres that have bulges on them that look as if they have been kirbed but they have not. This is a common problem with these tyres that is documented on the Internet. The manufacturers claim it is not a safety issue,
Cheers,
Barry | |

| I switched to Hankook 165s (not sure of type) when my last set of Firestone F560s finally gave in. The Hankooks look good, they perform very well under all conditions and they're reasonably priced. I also have Hankooks on the 900, can't fault them either. If anything, don't buy Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres; they're a horrible tyre in the wet, pretty dangerous if you ask me. Their classic winter tyres are great though, although, unsurprisingly, a bit noisy.

Hi Barry
Just saw this. I noticed the bulges myself when I had the car and had them checked by a tyre guy as I was going to replace them. He said it was to do with the way the tyre is joined in the mold and itwasn't anything to worry about as the rubber was still in good condition. Mind that was just before I sold the car to you. Hope XMS is still running well.

| Hi Peter, Good to hear from you. The saab is fine, currently fitting cheese grater grill and round headlights with the addition of a electric fan while I'm in that area. What are you driving around in now?
Cheers,
