rob63 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Er, I had the Sessanta Ultrac on my 350....just over 9k and the rears were gone, the fronts got changed out at the same time as they weren't far behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Rosie is on 42k now. Just had a new set of MPSS put on for the euro roadtrip. Last set lasted about 15k, including quite a few trips to wales, where I think most of the rubber was deposited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the sauvignons and chardonnays of this world made with an emphasis on structure, freshness & fruit, Ioneabee is like one of those young Californian wines which favours power and immediate impact! So how come those tyres lasted so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asad Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Has anyone tried ultrac vorti tyres yet? These are the sessanta replacements and supposed to be even better in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob63 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Has anyone tried ultrac vorti tyres yet? These are the sessanta replacements and supposed to be even better in every way. In a word, 'yes'. I'd previously run the Sessanta on my 350 and was very impressed with them, when the time came for replacement tyres on the 370 I went for the Vorti. Bearing in mind that I was comparing them to the OE Bridgestones, which at this stage were well past their best at 3mm on the rears, they were a revelation. They are considerably quieter, the 'tram-lining' issues were totally banished, and the outright grip both wet and dry was also vastly improved. Above all I particularly like the predictability, with the ESP turned off they are very forgiving and hold no surprises. Now, as stated I was comparing them to tyres that had just been removed and at that stage even Nippon No Grip Slide-Masters would have been an improvement. This has to be considered when giving any review on tyre performance etc and I feel that this is often overlooked. However I honestly feel that the Vorti's are superior in all areas except maybe for longevity...you can't have everything as there has to be a trade off, the Sessantas were good for about 9K. Although I don't consider price to be an issue when purchasing new tyres, at £680 delivered I was again impressed. Would I buy them again? Yes, and I believe there is now a Vorti 'R' version.
