That's just Torsen. Wait until the Vreds fail to scrub in...

I always found the Vreds waxy up until end of life, like they were brand new i.e. Not scrubbed in.

They have soft side walls compared to others so on limit grip isn't as good as others but two sets in now and they have been fine. You can't have been leaning on them hard enough or maybe your car just doesn't suit them.

Bars of soap are better than the Conti's.

Thanks for the info on the Conti tires(yes I'm a yank). I was considering these or the Michelins.
