I need tyres
Do I go with the tried and tested Michelin's/Conti's or do I try the Vredestein Ultrac's which are basically 100 quid per corner cheaper and get awesome reviews?
anyone tried the vred's? |

 but is there any basis for it?do you think I would actually notice any difference between the two? Vredestein actually have better review than PS2/Supersport! I'll probably just cave and buy Michelin, I can't stand mis matched tyres and the Michelin's on the front have quite a bit of life left |

I run Falken FK452's for the road - cica £450 for a set seem pretty good.
Cups for the track
