Has anyone tried, or heard, about Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires? I found them for about $450 for the front pair (I don't need rears yet).

+1 I like my Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires.. I don't have anything to compare them to except for the OEM tires, but they work really well with my 20 inch wheels..

Have them too. Nothing to compare them to but the tires that came stock on my car. All I know is they perform well on the twisties in the Bear Mt. run. Handles very good in rain. Also did 90+ mph in pouring rain cutting in and out.

Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Vredestein makes great performance tires.

THX! for all your responses I'll order the set once I get the M5 out of the shop. It's been there for two weeks getting the SMG pump replaced and some wiring harness the SMG pump fried when it failed. Cabled could not be located in US or Germany for a week. Anyways, should get the beast back by Wednesday.

+1. Been discussed as a good, quality choice and has a very aggressive tread pattern to boot.
