Has anyone heard of these? Any personal experiences?

Are those the ones on Ebay?

I would only put well known tires on my car. If you can afford the Porsche, don't cheap out on the tires that hold you to the road.

They are on E-bay. I am not interested in putting them on my car, just wondering about them. I have never heard of them.

I have them, a brand new set for the rear. Although only 80 miles on them thus far, I absolutely love them. Now I have to get rid of them because I am going from a 19" wheel to a 20". I paid about $470 for two. Any takers?

Think you mean Vredestein. They are popular more in Europe. They make a very capable winter tire.

I believe they scored #2, between the new Goodyear Asymmetrical F1 (#1) and the Continental ContiSportContact 3 (#3) in a recent EVO magazine high performance tire test. I'd never heard of them either, the F1's weren't available (at the time) so I went with with the ContiSport 3. Very happy, but they're on my M3, not a Porsche.
