Find me some Vredstein Ultracs

Post by MountainMutant » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:10 am

I need a couple of 255/35/19 Vred Ultracs.

Can't find any in stock anywhere. Grr

Anyone know where I can source some for sensible money?

Just put 2 new rears on I had in the garage so want to keep all 4 tyres the same.

I heard that Micheldever tyres always used to have access to good stock but cant vouch for Vreds.

Out of interest why this choice? I am getting close to a rear set and need to weigh up some options I suppose. Currently shod with Mich's Pilots Sports. Ok a bit noisey, grip Ok look is alright ish.... not blown away if I honest. :? Whats new and tempting out there? Good Years still popular?

Had tried Tyremen and they were showing out of stock.

Just checked again and rang them and they had 2 left :)

Where from? Did you order them from a webpage or did you make some calls. I can't find any decent priced winter tyres anywhere! They're all £280+ per corner and not in stock. I would've order them at that price already but I'd noticed some people getting good deals e.g. under two hundred notes.

Didn't get a brand mate, sorry. I have a set of OEM 18in winters and was toying with some fresh 19in on my other set of 19s to allow for big brake upgrade but spent the money on holidays instead! They dont stock Vreds tho
