+1 on what was said here. Plus, as said above, the whitewall is white and crisp.

Anyone with a vee have any trouble with them delaminating or premature wear?? Seems like the vee has stepped up and putting out a quality tire from what I've read when they first showed up

I have V tires and not a single issue. I'm very happy with the looks and performance.
