Vredestein Ultrac's run big?

Noc57 · 04-08-2010, 07:57 PM

I'm about to purchase a set of 4 for my 230's but I've been hearing that I need to be careful as vreds can run a little big.

Will I have any problems fitting 235/35 19 (front) and 265/30 19 (rear) on OEM 230's?

Just want to check guys before I have these shipped in those sizes. Don't want to have issues at the tire shop and have to order another size.

Thanks.

No, I don't feel that the Vredesteins run big. 235 and 265 will fit fine on the 230.

should be no problems with that size

ive got 245/275 on right now

(e92 w/eibach prokit) ; just a bit of rolling was needed in back (small amt)

this is my second set, im a fan, run great, provide good rim protection

only 1 complaint that I have (and I'm not sure its really major)

if it gets real cold overnight (I mean ~40F and below) ; Ive noticed that these tires flatspot a little for the first minute or two that I roll them out ; if the temps are higher, it doesnt happen

Good stuff, I'm in Florida after all so I don't have to worry about too low of temps haha (Though this has been like the coldest season ever)

Total cost was $789.66 delivered to my door (tax, free shipping) Not too bad.

What kills me is to get them mounted and installed it's about $120-150 extra (because I'm bringing them in as opposed to ordering them there) bringing my total to around $915. Kinda sucks but I hope these tires are worth it. Beat's $1700 PS2's

I read that same review that said the Vred's run big. I disagree...

I'm running 235/275's without any problems. No fender rolling.
I could have easily fit 245's up front, which I should have... Next time I guess.

I'm dropped on KW V1's with 19x8.5 ET35 and 19x9.5 ET33 wheels.
I rubbed once in the rear when I hit a dip on the freeway that sent my car bouncing somewhat. Other than that one occurrence, no problems.
