What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 237 owner reviews found online.

The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is widely regarded as a high-performance tire that offers exceptional value, frequently outperforming more expensive premium brands in wet and dry grip. While users consistently praise its handling, steering feedback, and distinctive aesthetic, opinions on tread life and noise levels are polarized, likely due to varying vehicle setups and driving styles.

Pros

  • Exceptional wet and dry traction
  • High value-for-money ratio compared to premium competitors
  • Predictable and progressive handling characteristics
  • Distinctive and visually appealing tread design
  • Effective rim protection and stiff sidewall response

Cons

  • Inconsistent tread life, with many users reporting rapid wear
  • Increased road noise, often described as a drone or bearing-like sound
  • Poor performance in snow and icy conditions
  • Noticeable 'break-in' period where grip is initially compromised
  • Tendency to tramline on uneven road surfaces

Worth knowing

  • Users transitioning from run-flat tires on BMWs and other performance sedans reported significant improvements in ride comfort and steering feedback.
  • Owners of high-torque, rear-wheel-drive vehicles noted that while grip is excellent, the tires can wear out rapidly under spirited driving conditions.
  • Some users with larger wheel diameters (18-20 inches) reported increased road noise and sensitivity to road grooves compared to smaller sizes.
