Had the Bridgstone run flats removed and the Veld Vortis fitted and the difference is like night and day. The first things you notice is the ride and the noise or to be more specific the lack of noise.First the ride . Gone is the tooth shaking effect experienced every time you went over a patch in the road or a change in surface, now the car just rides over them , the reduction in tyre noise is incredible its now possible have a conversation with the passenger. Tram-lining is a thing of the past you can actually drive the car now. The grip is fantastic and the rears respond instantly when you put your foot down. Overall I am impressed.
No doubt this could be achieved with other tyre makes and specs but for me the Vredstein Ultrac Vorti is the way to go.
Tyre pressure as the car recommended pressures are based on run flats I stuck with my gut feeling of 34 psi on fronts 225x40x18 and 36 on rears 255x35x18. and the balance seem's fine, will keep an eye on tyre wear and adjust if needed.
Would I choose Vorti's ,in a heart beat
