The end of the world is nigh

Can you get those new Vredstine Sessanta tyres in your size? I've heard a lot of raving about them recently, some people saying that they outperform GSD3's although I have yet to see a proper comparison.

What size are your tyres? 225/45/17. blackcircles.co.uk have GSD3's...

They tell you that on the site... then you order them... and two days later you get a call saying it'll take 3 to 4 weeks to get hold of any.

Same story from tyre-shopper.co.uk too. ********.

(And you then have they payment for both gone and have to wait 3 days for a refund!)

Edit... and as for the Germany vs China thing...

If yours say Made in Germany or China, and have the E marking, then you have nothing to worry about.
If your tyres do not have the 'E' marking followed by the 6 or 7 digit number, and say 'Made in Thailand' then you have unapproved tyres and should contact your supplier immediately. Drive very carefully until your supplier has fitted replacement approved tyres. If the supplier will not agree to replace the tyres, contact Trading Standards. It is illegal to supply non 'E' marked tyres for road use in the EC.

Don't know why but the op seems to gloss over the multiple recommendations of the Vredstiens even from ex GSD2/3 fan boys like myself. They have fashion and form and Autocar put them top of their test.

The last Autocar test I've read did not feature Vredstien - has there been a more recent one? The test I have read with Vredstien featured was Auto Express - they did very well indeed and won the test but it was a test versus mid range tyres not high performance tyres?

Is there a high performance tyre test out there where the Vredstiens are featured?

Camskill suck - contacted them, despite advertising them on their website they dont have any and cant get any. Grrr.
 
Somehow ripped a hole in my sidewall on my contiental sport contact 2, front passenger tyre today. Lovely.

So broke this month as it is!
