I have Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta in the size 225/45R17 fitted to a VW Passat B6 2.0 TDI. Distance driven is ca. 17000 miles with quite dynamic driving style. The advantages of the tyre are its visual look, good grip on both dry and wet, noise level is also good, but on some Czech motorways (which are mate out of concrete tiles) the tyres squeal terribly. The shock absorption is also fine, compared to Barum winter tyres and summer Michelin Energy Saver ones. The drawbacks of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are definitely rolling resistance - my car's fuel consumption rose up by 1,5 l/100 km and the impression is like the car lacks about 10-20 BHP. Their durability is also average, after 17000 miles the tread is 5 mm on the front and 6 mm on the rear. However, generally I can say Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is not a bad tyre.

As for now, I did ca. 1200 miles on Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres and I can say that these tyres behave great on wet surface. The traction control checklight hardly ever switches on, so the grip is great. The only drawback of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is that you have to fit them very carefully, similarly to Run Flat tyres, as they have a very hard rim protection lip. One has broken down during fitting and in the result I had to repair my wheel. However, I generally recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta as they are worth every penny spent on them.

I already have a second set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta in the size 225/45R17. Their advantages are their sports and aggressive look, great road grip, also in the corners, good properties on wet surface and decent price. The tyres are not perfect, though - they are quite loud and unfortunately they wear off fast. When it comes to driving and visual comfort of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, I definitely rate them 6 out of 6, but noise level and tread wear is 4 out of 6.

I won't be fooled by the look ever again, like I was with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. When it comes to behaviour on wet, they are very good. The tyre wasn't very quiet from the very start, but after 16000 miles it became a nightmare, I thought I'd turn deaf. My mechanic checked if the bearings are fine, as the noise was similar. However, after I fitted my winter tyres, everything went back to normal. Moreover, the tyre seems to be much of a directional tread pattern and therefore you have to check the air pressure quite often (it's best to check them on the manufacturer's website), otherwise the car swerves to the right. After I fitted Dunlop tyres, such problem ceased its existence. Therefore, I am afraid I can't recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta as a good tyre.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is generally a good product. The only drawback is their durability. I should have changed them after the first season (15 thousand miles), but I took the risk and did another season on them, and now the tyre is totally bald. But the price is definitely good, so I am thinking about buying them again.

The tire holding on to the road on wet and dry but the technology for the weak performance.

I don't recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. They are quiet just in the beginning but then, you have to balance them every 500 miles. I think that this is too much for such a tyre, therefore I can't recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta as a good tyre.

I did 22 thousand miles on Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres. After three seasons, all I can do with them is to throw them out. They have a very soft compound, which causes the tyre to deform after a few sharp brakings. Their large tread also has drawbacks, as larger stones can stick into it and cause vibrations. However, they are perfect for the motorway, their grip in the corners is great and also they look nice. Overall, I think I can recommend Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres.
