Heard of Vredestein Tires?

Ever heard of this company?
I found these tires in an ad in a SEMA magazine, these Ultrac Sessanta tires are pretty cool!
The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is the newest ace in the Ultra High Performance (UHP) segment. The Sessanta is based on the strong points of the Ultrac series and has been optimised even further to give very good steering and handling characteristics. Giugiaro Design has given the Ultrac Sessanta an innovative design, with a line pattern that clearly shows that performance comes first. The name Sessanta refers to the sixty years of Vredestein's existence in Enschede. In tribute to Vredestein's unique collaborative partnership with Giugiaro Design, "sixty" will be written in Italian: sessanta.
They have 255 40 ZR 19 for $214.14
and 295 25 ZR 20 for $301.57
I would like your feedback!

Don;t know how this tire is rated, but, the tread pattern doesn't appear to be a good "wet" tire?? Looks to be a dry pavemnet racing tire.....

This combination of front and rear tire sizes would not look good at all on an SSR, or any vehicle for that matter. The P255/40ZR19 front tires would have a theoretical sidewall height of bit more that 4", while the P295/25ZR19 rear tires would have a theoretical sidewall height of only just over 2-7/8". That's not a good looking setup at all, with the front sidewall heights being a good bit larger than the rear! Plus, with 25 series tires on the rear you'd be running on "rubberbands", and not a good situation for a relatively heavy vehicle. Just my $0.02.

I found the tire is Y rated, but could not find any load rating.
I found the 19's for $183 and 20's for $230 at Rims, Tires, Tire and Wheel Packages - Chrome Wheels and Tires from Performance Plus Tire

Look at the tread on this tire!


Or this one!

and would also be concerned with load rating...I could see blow outs on the rears if you hit a pothole

I would have put that tire up too, but there was no 19"...

This tread design is awfull, Try and put that tire on the front of any vehicle and your asking for Alignment problems. Shimmy and Steering would be Terrible.

Looks like the 255/40 would work on the front, but the backs are too small.

Oh, and this is a summer tire.

For these tires they don't give the tread width.
The 275/55R20 are only S (112mph) speed rated.
This is an All Season tire.
