IMHO, the Vredesteins follow pavement rain grooves too much. If we could crank
in more castor on a Healey, maybe they would be better. I would call them a
nervous tire. Perhaps they will get better with wear.
I really loved the aggressive tread pattern on the Pirelli CN36 which is now
available from a classic tire dealer, but quite expensive. The Yokohama's I
used to have were fine, but I don't think they are available anymore,
otherwise I would have gotten them instead of the Vredestiens.
If the CN36's are out of your budget, I would go with the old Michelin XZX.
They squeal a bit at the limit, but handled very well.
