Superman001 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I need to replace the front Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta's as they are shot, also getting alignment done on Monday. Im wondering if I should replace with the same or try Uniroyal Rain Sport 3's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 VUS are no longer available, I'll be amazed if you can find any. Which is a shame, as I loved them. RS3s are good, but not really in the same league as big guns. They're more of an MX5 tyre than anything. 453s a better option at that budget, although you'll need to change all four if swapping brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided on the RS3's as I live in Scotland and wet weather grip is more important than outright warm weather grip. Shame they dont do the VUS anymore.

coldel Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I am using the Vorti's (sessanta replacements) on my GT-Four, so far so good, I probably do not drive in a style Dan does so probably havent tested the limits of the tyres but they are performing very well so far, very grippy and not much road noise compared to what I got from the almost new 452s I had on my Zed a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimg Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Been running with a full set of RS3's all winter and as you say in Scotland it rains most of the time so they are probably the best tyre for the conditions. Never had any issues with standing water or greasy roads, loads of grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 RS's are (surprisingly) great in the wet, I wasnt a fan of the Sessantas TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good to know, the rear Pirelli's still have about 3.5mm so as soon as they are shot I'll get some RS3's for the rear as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
