Die besten Reifen für den Vauxhall Omega

Nachdem ich die vorderen Stoßdämpfer, Federn, Scheiben und Bremssättel ausgetauscht hatte, montierte ich den uniroyalen Regenreifen an meinem Omega von 2002. Während sich das Auto vor den Umiroyals wie ein Auto verhielt, sollten die Uni Royals überspringen, fährt die Straßenbahn konstant bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten, dh 30 bis 40 Meilen pro Stunde. Hohe Geschwindigkeiten scheinen in Ordnung zu sein, aber bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten sind sie erschreckend, vertraue ihnen überhaupt nicht !!

These are not good tyres. I would suggest that those who state that any tyre can be made to spin have completely missed the point. Too much driver attention is directed towards controlling the tyres limited grip and their limit is passed well within normal road speeds. There are much better tyres available within the same price range. Avoid these.

Truly appalling, dangerous tyres! Bought my Omega with these on, in the dry it felt as though every suspension component was badly warn, in the wet on very gentle bends the car has zero grip. I've almost spun the car at 10-15mph on wet roundabouts.
If these tyres are on a car you're thinking of buying factor in the cost of replacements, totally unpredictable and a real threat to your, and other motorists' safety in the wet....steer well clear!

One of the best tyres I've driven on a Vauxhall Omega, if not the best. Directional stability, raw grip, braking performance are all superb for a road tyre. The downside is a life of about 11-12k from the rears (RWD) and double from fronts. Grip and stability maintained to long below the UK legal limit. The level of feedback allows you to get the maximum out of them, and with a predictability that inspires confidence. All this with a comfortable ride, although a bit of tyre noise.

Very pleased for the money, these perform at least as well as the Goodyear NCTs that were fitted when I bought the car.

The Omega is very sensitive to chassis settings, which take time to get right. My car has Police spec shocks and springs with polybushes front and rear, making for a slightly firm ride.I use the car as a taxi, running with full load tyre pressures.

The Runways are a bit noisy on a dry road owing to quite an aggressive tread. The upside of this is that they perform well in heavy rain and snow.

I find these tyre well matched to a properly set up Omega chassis and also my driving style. I will continue to fit them as long as they are available.

Well pleased for the cost. Bit noisy due to the tread pattern, but no other complaints.

Incredible grip most of the time wet or dry, amazingly seem to need to warm up. In cold weather for the first mile there's no grip.

Give good feedback, but when you keep pushing they let go quite quickly. I got XL ones as its all they had in stock. Supposed to take 95 load rated was a disaster on the 93's I had when I got a set of Michelin's. The XL ones are taking there toll on jelly mould chassis of the Omega but at long last its fun to drive with these tyres.

I'm currently on my third set of these tyres, and I'm really happy with them. They last for ever (20,000m plus), and just work. I used to have Pirelli P7s on the car until my local garage told me that these would be better (due to it not getting warm enough here for the P7s to get up to temperature fast enough etc), and as these were cheaper, I couldn't resist.

I've been really surprised by all the negative reviews on here - I wonder how much of it is due to driver behaviour? I've only slightly lost the back end of my car once, and it was really raining at the time - I should have known better...

Along with the (no longer available) Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3, these are probably one of the best sets of tyres I've ever had fitted to my car. Whilst they do have a few very minor points against them, in terms of pure grip and safety (even when pushed hard) these Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres do a great job of holding the road.

Grip in the dry is awesome for both acceleration/braking and cornering, better than the old Goodyear Eagle F1s they replaced.
Despite their somewhat unique tread pattern, wet grip is equally impressive although I feel/suspect that the newer Eagle F1s would be fractionally better. In terms of handling, it would be hard to fault these tyres.

Progressiveness and feedback are good and you do get a sense of when the tyres are reaching their limit of adhesion, again better than the old F1 GSD3 tyres they replaced (which although very grippy would just snap away when the limit was reached), but I still think they could be just a little better in this area (if that's how you wish to drive around).

Comfort is good for this type of higher performance tyre and it doesn't give a 'solid' ride, but leads me on to the minor irritations. Road feedback, whilst still good is not as good as some other great tyres, and the Ultrac Sessanta just doesn't give you as good a sense of being connected. I suspect that is more down to the tyre being a bit softer than others. Depending on what you want you may see this as a good or bad thing.

The real areas I can fault them on are:
Wear is not a great aspect of these tyres, but there's no reason you wouldn't see maybe 10000 miles out of a set even with slightly spirited driving.

Also road noise. Inside the car there is no issue, but if you have your windows open you can definitely hear them at speed. Also, and this may be down to my particular tyre size, at certain speeds they can make a particularly irritating noise (again, on the outside, not inside the car). On the plus side though, as they have worn down, they haven't really gotten worse.
