Just thought i would let you all know that i am now sitting on the above in 235/40 ZR 18 extra load.
Spoke to Vredestein and as with their other tyre (which i use in the summer) The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, they must be inflated to 4 psi over normal use, ie, on a V70R P2 normal use is 36psi. therefore mine ran at 39psi. This is due to the make up of the construction of the tyre and its shape in relation to the road surface. Very difficult to explain in a thread but with previous Vredesteins they had problems with the outside edges wearing prematurely (nothing to do with alighnment). Mine did the same on my Ultracs on my laser. This was 4 years ago now and since then they sussed the problem. Hense the tyres now must run at 39psi.
I will let you know how good these tyres are in the white stuff but so far they are awesome. Done 60 miles and all the tyres still have the hair on them!! At least i know my alignment is bang tidy.
Cost was £696 delivered. Think i got the last set in the UK as they were nigh on impossible to get. Read reviews from Germany and Sweden...probably the best winter tyre you can get and cheaper than Conti's.
