MG TD TF 1500 - Vredestein Sprint Classic

I was just pricing out some Vredestein Sprint Classics at Coker,,,, They indicate that they are made in the USA I know Coker makes unavailable tires, but the Vredestein Sprint Classics are still made and available,,, Is Coker making them here in the US??,,,

Vredesteins I bought were made in Holland, that's where the factory is. Coker might be selling them, as many other tire dealers are, but I know of no one in the States manufacturing them, unless Vredestein has built a factory here, which I doubt. PJ

Mine were made in Holland. They are readily available. Great tire.

I just had 5 new Sprint Classics delivered today from Summit Racing - they all say "Made in Holland."

Steve Thank you. I looked on Summit's site and didn't see Vredestein tires listed even after typing in the product name.

Coker sells them, they don't make them, regardless how the ad is interpreted. PJ

I just got a set of the Michelin XZXs from Coker- they are now made by Michelin in Serbia! George

With due respect to Steve, I think the closest Vredestein to original size is 155 x 15. That's the choice I made. I sacrificed a bit of comfort but I like the original sort of narrow look. They're not much different from 165x15 -- which do have a very slightly larger diameter. They have much improved the ride - Peter
