I'm looking at the Vredestein and plan to order today. For the price, I figure I can go through a set or two or three before I spend the equivalent price of the Michelin. I'm hoping the tread design is a bit less noisy than the Mich's and the Toyo's which seem to cup a bit with age.

I was alway impressed their tire on a bicycle so I'm hoping for equal impressions on the x5.
