Intaldesign does another one

For those who want to add a little more Guigiaro to there SVX, I have good news. I read Import Tuner frequently and in there "Power Gear" section I found a small blurp about a tire. The blurb reads : "Are you feeling tyre-d? Part of our job is finding the little guy before he becomes The Big Guy. Well folks, we found Verestein (hey, it's fun to say, too), and it's purpose is making preniun, performance tires.Intaldesign Guigiaro- yes, the very design house that birthed the Lexus GS 300 and Subaru SVX, partnered with Verestein to create the Sportrac 2. We slapped a set on a stock Civic and rolled around for a few miles. We were impressed by the blend of luxury and performance. The tires were sticky and handled well in both straight and curved lines. Yet, the ride was smooth and quiet. The company's Handling Tuned Sidewall technology minimally distorts the sidewall and provides maximum resistance against sidewall forces. This makes the car easier tp control, even at speed. They come in V and W speed ratings and a variety of popular sizes, from 14 to 17 inches. If you're sporting larger wheels, you can also check out the company's ultrapremium Ultrac line, which covers 16 to 19-inch diameters and w and y speed ratings. Check out www.vredestein.com."

Significant Technical Input
I used to sell Verestein snow tires, years ago, in Denver. They were good tires, no complaints. Verestein & Semperit are (were?) both common brands across the pond but rarely heard of here.

Prices? They don't look affordable.
