Fitted on an 4.2 E-Type. Initially slightly concerned about the relatively low price tag, most if not all concerns are now gone. Grip on track (Goodwood), Swiss mountain roads (Gr. St-Bernard/Furka/Stelvio) and Surrey country lanes in dry weather is simply impressive. Pushing the car into corners squashed on the driver's door, the tyres don't squeak, fade or slide. Transforms the already wonderful "performance classic" experience into a very affordable one. (Thank you Vredestein for this privilege!). On the downside, not as good on wet (might be the car) - so care needed there. The tyre walls also appear to warp quite a bit. Very little found on the internet about this. Hoping it is actually safe, it does not seem to alter the performance. The look is excellent too. All in, unless pure originality is of the essence, the Sprint Classic's appear the be "THE" choice for most classic car owners.
