Head office is in the Netherlands. I just checked out there website and do see 2 dealers in Canada however they really don't have the sizes I would want. Tires look cool though but who knows if they are good or not

Well, I bought a set and I'll be able to report on how they are in a couple of weeks. Everything I've read and everyone I talked to spoke very highly of them and I couldn't beat the price. Supposed to be a very controlled tire with great wet and dry grip. We'll see.........

I do like the tread pattern. Definitely let us know what you think of them. I will need a new set of tires by the end of this season.

They are hot looking tires. AFS seems to sell a lot for the prior model Mustangs on eBay. Their sizes are somewhat limited. What did you end up buying? Keep us informed on your findings.

Everything I have read on Vredestein is very favorable. They are one of the top high performnce tire manufacturers in Europe but don't have much penetration in the US. I read a comparison of their winter tire vs. Bridgestone Blizzaks a few years ago and the Vredestein came out ahead.

Just arrived at the house yesterday. They are real nice looking tires. Pictures you see on the web don't do them any justice.

As soon as I get my wheels (better be soon, they're ordered), I'll get them mounted up and post some pics.
