Got my Vredesteins's put on this past weekend!!!!!!

I'll believe it when I see it... only because this is one of Ryan's hookups and we all know how those go (right, Drew?!?!)!!! LMAO!!!

 

Good deal Ryan. "I" need to come over and give them a "proper" breaking in!! LOL

I'll give your buddy in PB a try here in a few months when I need some.....what's the worst that can happen??!!!

 

Umm... did I mention this is a "Ryan Hookup"?!?!

 

Either I get them or I don't. It'll save on shipping if he can. I'd give it two weeks at most.

 

isn't ryans hook-up that got you in at vortech?:grin:

 

Nice, you got a great deal. The Discount Tire Minnetonka, MN is full of good people too, they cut great deals and work hard for your money.

 

Oh Ralph... OH RALPH... you just opened a can of worms!!!

The answer to your question is: not really. Here's the scoop:

Ryan told me about Vortech through his connection. But that guy was quoting like $4000. I couldn't do it and had to remove myself from consideration. Then Ryan stated it was about $3000, and I said I'd do it for that much. Then, Ryan disappeared over the next 2 days. Hmmm... something smelled fishy, and for the first time, it wasn't Ryan's underwear.

0 60 Gone (Dan - GCSRT8) posted on here that they were looking for test vehicles. He called me/I called him and got the phone #. I called Vortech, and got in because of the # Dan provided.

Little did I, or anyone else, realize that Ryan was already 'in' at Vortech before I even called. I PM'd/Posted a few folks to spread the good word. Who filtered it to you all, I have no idea... maybe Ryan, or maybe you all heard it as a result of me sending some PM's.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blamming Ryan for almost screwing me... he's not American, so you have to give him some slack. LMAO!!!

 

I did some sort of good deed that particular night in question!!! I was the one who tipped ALL you turds to that particular thread. And, out of loyalty and honor, didn't throw my name back to the head of the line even though I could have afforded the lowered price!!! I must REALLY care about you guys. LOL

 

you are one great guy! lol

 

So does that mean that if one Discount Tire carries them that all Discount Tires carry them? Like the one about a mile away from me here in San Jose?

 

160.00 a tire is a good price!
A: Who is "F-Monte in LA"?
B: Did Shawn @ Discount Tire give you the same 160.00 price?

 

:cry2::friends:

Probably not. Remember, we're talking about Ryan here... see below...

RE: A: "F-Monte in LA", translated into fucking English is: Fairmont Tire in Los Angeles. I told him the name about 10 times and he still doesn't get it... goes to show that "English as a second language" classrooms don't work worth a shit and just end up causing Americans heartburn.

RE: B: I doubt they'd sell the tire for that much... I don't think our friend inquired about price... I could be wrong.

 

So how do they feel? Traction? Etc.... Those are definitely, for now, probably, most likely, unless I find a better tire, depending on if I have the money, going to be my next set of tires...

 

I am running 275/40/20 all around.

IMHO...
This is THE tire. Price is right, tread pattern is VERY unique.
It holds the road well and is very smooth.... also NO noticible noise. It is also Z rated.

 

are you overall happy with them? they helping you get pretty good grip with all that new power?
