I have them on my F, and the ride is quiet, but feels soggy compared to my old V12's.

There are plenty of positive reviews in here, just search. Bottom line is I hate the V12s, love the Vredesteins. V12's sidewall is too soft for any kind of aggresive drive, try to switch lanes at high speed and you'll think you're driving and Oldsmobile.

Ive been running the vredestein ultracs for about 10k miles and I have a grip of tread left ( I also dont drive like a moron....all the time....) Are they very sticky? No. I get quite a lot of tire spin in first gear.

It is true that with the Vredestein you'll get tire spin on first gear (Sport + Manual mode), but it makes it more fun to drive! LOL

Overall it's a great tire: easy on the rims, good handling/cornering, not loud, stable at high speeds (150+ MPH), durable, stays in shape even on low pressure.
