Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta vs OEM RFT
How do Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta stack up against 335 Stock RFT tires in terms of steering feel, wet and dry handling, tread and traction. I am thinking of buying them soon, so members who own this tire, if they can comment it will be really helpful to make my decision.
Thanks |

I went from 17" RFT to 19" Vredestein Sessanta, and the Vredestein are better.
