• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Pressure on new Vredestein tires

    Works for me... I am at 16 -17 front and 19-20 rear and that seems to be the "sweet spot" !

    2019 F3 Limited

    Cheap insurance As a preventative measure, I popped mine off ( they came of too easy!), I tied on a small tether with 20# mono fishing line which should easily hold if they fall off... easy peasy!!

    For Blueknight911 - Vredestein for rear tire 2016 RTL

    I have also adjusted down to 16 front and 18 rear and that seems to be the safest sweet spot. After over 3k miles they still look brand new! I live in wet, sunny South Florida. Sticky tires are important! I don't know of a tire that sticks better but the Vredestein Sportrac is better rated in...

    For Blueknight911 - Vredestein for rear tire 2016 RTL

    My 2 cents Also, not Mike here... I have put on approx 3k miles on my quatrac ( I have them on all 3). They are far superior to Kenda and ride soft and smooth butttt, I wouldn’t call them sticky as the rear has slid out a couple times in wet conditions. The Sportrac is higher rated in the...

    Vredestein Quatrac 5

    I have Vredestein Quatrac 5 all around. I have put around 3k miles on them so far and I find them to be smooth and relatively quiet. I was ryding in a really bad South Fl rainstorm with a crazy amount of standing water and the rear did slide out once. I don't believe any other tire would have...

    Awaiting your impression UP, I have over 3000 miles on mine (all 3) and I notice a huge difference from the Kendas. I am looking forward to your thoughts and report!

    Stability at Freeway Speed?

    Did the Elka shocks help with high speed jitters in the wind? Which Elkas did you go with?

    Finally mounted Vredestein Quatrac5 tires on our 2014 RTL !!

    Tom, I would lower the rear tire pressure a little. Mine spun out right after I had it installed. They had put 28# and it was a very light rain. I am currently running 22# in the rear and it feels good! Jeff

    Finally mounted Vredestein Quatrac5 tires on our 2014 RTL !!

    btw - I have experimented with # air and currently running 18# front and 22# rear and that seems to be the magic formula for me. F3T

    Finally mounted Vredestein Quatrac5 tires on our 2014 RTL !!

    The Sportrac comes in a 215 size and is actually better rated in the rain, however, I think you will have a difficult time finding them in the US. For some reason, no one is mentioning these... I installed the Quatrac on all 3 and like them alot. I do wish the rear were wider as I believe it...

    Vredestein tire sizes from their web site

    I also put the Vredestein Quatrac 5 on all 3 of my F3T wheels and I like them a lot. I do wish the rear were wider, mostly for aesthetics. Also, Vredestein makes a sportrac version which is rated better in the rain! They are hard to get in the states...

    New Front Tires

    Meaningful info My research also shows that Vredesteins are a brand from the Netherlands and highly regarded. The Sportrac 5 is a Summer tire ( difficult to get in the US ) and the Quatrac 5 is an all season tire. I am rolling all 3 now and they are wayyy better than the Kendas but quite...
