I changed over from the oe contis to vredstein t-trak 2s in the original dimensions 165/80R15 and have been amazed and delighted by the improvement wet and dry. The sprint classics do have a more traditional looking tread pattern, so you might prefer them on aesthetic grounds, and I believe their performance is perfectly satisfactory - but have never tried them myself.
I said, I am thinking of the T-Trac 2, same size, 165/80 R15.
He looked horrified and began speaking in French. "Mais ce n'est pas bon..."
I think I shall take it easy through the rest of the winter and switch to T-Trac 2 next Autumn.
