Yesterday was the first time I'd driven the car more than 2 miles since making the switch from the RFT RE050A's to the ultrac sessanta's.
Covered 50 miles on A roads and Motorways. Overall impressions were good, the car was less harsh over broken surfaces. I had no feeling of road camber effecting the steering. I noticed on jacking the car that the sidewalls are pretty soft, I added a few PSI over the stock settings.
You still feel all the bumps as is to be expected on 40 profile tyres, just less intrusive.

I still have to drive on B roads but so far so good.
