After spending several hours and over 30 phone calls to FORMER Vredestein Dealers... only to hit a wall every time and finding NONE OF THEM can access this model tire, I came up with the name of Vred USA's Sales Mgr. He, in turn, introduced me to their only currently authorized wholesale agent and ...well, I'm able to buy either size through him with FedEx shipping from Florida to California in 4-5 weeks - they're coming from Holland.

If any of you other Speedster Whackadoos want, like me, to run the highest rated Dry tire....send me a message. I'm sure the more tires ordered will mean the best price - although they're relatively inexpensive (note I didn't say "cheap"), anyway, @ <$100 each + the FedEx shipping.

Do they have other sizes available?

I and the Florida wholesaler only talked about 185/65R15's and 195/65R15's. I'm going with the 185's because I'm a firm believer in the old adage: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" That's the size I've been running on my Speedie for 10-1/2 yrs. and I've never had a problem...aka "it ain't broke." The Vred Sales Mgr. just called me and says he's arranged for 12 (3 sets) 185/65R15 tires to be put in the wholesaler's next container leaving the end of the week.

None of their Vreds are 185/65/R15, and that's the size I need/want and will buy.

Okay, Guys ...and Gals (for you married types), here's the deal for a set of 4 Vredestein SPORTRAC 5's in 185/65R15. My price is $240 + FedEx delivered to Napa, CA @ $100 = Total $340, ...or only $85/tire. I was told 3 sets will be sent out this week with my est. delivery in 4-5 weeks. Another set has been spoken for by an SOC member in Oregon, and that leaves one more set available. Are there any takers?

If interested, send me a Message! If NOT interested...kiss my

@Napa Paul  I sent you a PM, interested in the 185/65 but also looking for 205/60 rear. 

I know Vred lists all the sizes we want, but getting them here is the thing.

About 15 years ago, a fellow on Spyderclub arranged a group buy for 5 lb. Halon fire bottles. I think we ended up with ten systems sold, and we all paid individually. Called a particular guy at Safecraft and done deal.

It looks like the 3 sets of 185/65R15 SPORTRAC 5's are being "gobbled-up" as of this morning, the 25th. That said, if anyone has further interest or questions or requests, I'm dropping out as the "Go-Between" and here's who you need to contact:
