295/35 18 Tire Review Highlights

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 rated 83% while driving a Ford Mustang
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Needed tires on the back of my Mustang. I had serious traction issues before and after going 295 I hoped I wouldn`t still be burning rubber in most gears.
Expensive but you get what you pay for. Most important thing is now I have traction. I can hook up and accelerate without snaking all over the road. Even able to drive in the wet although not with any conviction. Thats good enough for me. I didn`t add a progressive rating as I havent had the car at the limit-and never will probably unless I manage a track day.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 rated 63% while driving a Chevrolet 2003 C5 type Z06
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 easy going miles
Superb grip which I imagine is the idea for this car - built and geared largely for acceleration. Very noisy and harsh, the wear is not too bad for a car 'derestricted' to about 425 BHP - I drive gently and expect to get about 20000. The noise and stiffnes just gives a coarse ffeling to the ride. Not many tires this size to choose from but am just about to try a set of pilot Sports (£1170) and see how they go.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta rated 97% while driving a BMW E39 M5
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
This is my first set of Vredisteins 295/35/18 back and 255/35/18 front...I've had about every named brand tire out there and I have to say these will not be beat.

Well it's hard form me to say how they wear because I've only driven around 1000 miles on them. I have to say they are fantastic performance tires. My e39 puts out about 410-415hp with the upgrades, so if I hammer her down it puts the tires to the test. I'm a pretty spirited driver and enjoy putting my stressing my tires to the limit...and that I have. Higher speed cornering on the on/off ramps are amazing. I took a friend out one night and he said if he had taken the curves at the speeds I took them, his jeep would have turned right over. When I take them to to limit that are amazingly balanced and when I force them to cut loose they are easy to get back into control. Pure 0-60 times have improved dramatically, although I still have a tough time in first gear with spinouts...lol but not near as bad as my michi's

For the price no other tire in the world competes with these as far as I'm concerned. Grade A/A+
