SOT: tire feedback needed

[LarryE9E10]

Hi all!

I know there are a bunch of people here with both coupes and 2002's and this request is for them. Looking for new tires for my tii. Intend to keep my 13" wheels so the pickin's are increasingly slim for 185/70/13. Not thrilled with the Korean options. Thinking about Vredesteins (Quatrac 3) which they make in the right size. Anyone have any experience with these tires on either an 02 or on a coupe (in the appropriate size)? I'm looking for feedback to help me make a imminent buying decision.

Thanks in advance.

I replaced my 13" Sumotomo tires with the Vredestein Quatrac II's and ended up selling them. The large raised lettering and the horrible graphics made my '68 2002 look like it was wearing snow tires. They ruined the look of the car IMO. I replaced them with a set of Vredestein Sprint + in the OEM size (165-80-13) which are NLA. This was all that was available at the time in 13" Sprint +. Vredestein now offers the Sprint Classic which is a great looking vintage style tire in 205-60-13. Most of the Sprint Classic line is available in 14" and 15" and very popular among the Porsche and Jaguar crowd.

vredestein sprint classic is my choice
nice tyres and good price
i run 14" alpinas in 190/70/14

Being in EU can you get 215-65R14's? Perfect fit with a little more aggressive/wider look.
