Vredestein ULTRAC Sessante

Does anyone know about the Vredestein ULTRAC Sessante tire? I beleive it is manufactured in the Netherlands. I have been talking about the Kumho Ecsta XS on another thread and would like to see if anyone has any experience with these tires. The reviews on them seem to be excellent and comparable to the Kumho. But I would like to get some input from someone that has them or had them plus see pics of them on a cobra or a car because from the info I have seen the Vredestein ULTRAC Sessante has a really low profile. I don't want a tire that has barely any sidewall like on some of the tuner cars. I don't think that will look good on a cobra. Any other input on ultra performance tires would be appreciated. I'm sure the "which tire is best" topic has been beat to death in the past, sorry.

No one has any opinions on this tire? I'm surprised no one has had or heard of these. I just learned yesterday about how to read tire sizes concerning sidewall height which I am very grateful for. I guess I will either chose the Kumho Ecsta or the Vredestein based on reviews and technical specs unless someone gives me other information on something else. Although the Vredestein doesn't come in the rear tire size I am running currently, I would have to go to a 315/35 so not sure if I want to change the height of the rear tire.

No knowledge regarding these car tires, although I use Vredestein on my road bicycle.
they work great and hold up well.

Bill,
I did also hear that they do make great bike tires. I searched other forums (G37, Z06, Porsche) and there are threads on how they love these tires. I was hoping someone here would have tried them. The tread design is great. Check them out if you get a chance.
