    Default Thanks to BLUEKNIGHT911

    Mike:

    I want to thank Mike for his patience and guidance while I was tire shopping. No less than 5 PMs' to him askinghiom questions, which he always answered quickly. I put Vrendstein Quadratics on today - I cannot believe the difference it made in the ride. It is night and day. I am excited to ride and test these babies out. Thanks again.

    Regards,
    Jim

    Almost any tire will make a difference compared to stock.

    OK, now my head has swelled up and won't fit in my Helmet ... ..... I'm always happy to help another Spyderlover .... During my LEO career I was fortunate to receive a lot of ( free ) training. I almost feel obligated to share this with the folks here. Yes I like performance, but my main concern is Safety ...... Thanks for the kind words ..... Mike

    Not being a Smartarse here, Gunner, but the actual brand name is Vredestein, not Vrendstein….. and they are Quatrac Pro…. not Quadratics. That may be why you can’t find them .

    Sorry Mike! I only clicked on this thread to see what you'd gotten yourself into THIS time!

    I am sorry. I can't help it! I never know what's waiting on the other side of a thread that starts out with YOU! as the main subject!

    Maybe it's just me?

    I couldn't agree more. I have asked Mike several times about the correct size car tire and tire pressure for my 2018 F3-T and he has always responded. Although I have not yet pulled the trigger on the Vredestein Quatrac's in my shopping cart on Tire Rack it won't be long. Thank you Mike!!

    Ooops, that was my mistake - I misspelled from the start, but I did buy the right tires.

    ~~~that's quite reasonable IMO. I just paid $125 (approx.) to have one tire shipped to me here a few weeks ago, for my Big Tex 7' X 14" (interior dimensions) dual axle dump trailer. IIRC the tire size was/is 235/80/16, it was a trailer tire as I needed a new spare tire. The tire was a brand called Goodride, and the same manufacturer that came on the trailer when I bought it 16 months ago Like you, that price included all taxes and shipping
