VREDESTEIN are they any good??????
I have been looking at these tires and the BFG KDW. Are the ones listed below any good or should I just go with the KDW?
Also will a 305 or 315 fit in a 20 x 10 wheel?

I have a good friend running their Guigario tires on his twin turbo C5 who swears by them and can give WOT one gear sooner than on his Michelin PS2s as well as running top of the pack at autocrosses with them. The 305-315 is the max for a 10" wheel but the 35 series sidewall will help make it a pretty easy fit.

i have been in direct contact with the company 1 hour away from my house(Netherlands) and told them about my torque level of 577 lbs.
They said they never tested there tires with that kind of torque. and would not be sure if they would be up to the task .
I then imported the Nitto,s from the usa insted. and im very very impressed with them ... one thing i like to ad is that uptill a couple of years ago Vreedestein was a tire company just intrested in safty and handling in the wet. for famely cars!!!.
they only just evolved to the high sigmend of auto racing, i gues making old mom and pop safty tires paid of . there racing tires from Italion disigner hands...

They were well thought of back when the Stahlflex 3011 was considered a performance tire
