LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vredestein Tires, the iconic European Tire brand from Apollo Tyres Ltd, known for its period-correct fitments combined with a full array of tires for today’s vehicles, celebrated the spirit of 1980s and 1990s automotive culture at this year’s RADwood SoCal. The brand showcased a fleet of era-defining vehicles, all fitted with period-correct Vredestein tires.
The centerpiece of the Vredestein display was a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet sporting Hitracs from Vredestein. This pristine example is currently on loan from the Petersen Automotive Museum and will be given away as part of a sweepstakes later in November.
To highlight the brand’s range and versatility, Vredestein also equipped the vehicles of several Los Angeles–area automotive influencers, Abraham Ruffei (@idriveclassics), Armagan Sezenol (@socal210), and Steve Ellis (@getbtw), giving them the opportunity to display their cars at the show. The lineup included an R34 Nissan Skyline, a Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and a Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet, each representing a distinct era and style of motoring.
“Vredestein Tires is a proud supporter of RADwood and this nostalgic era of automobiles,” said Art Cervantes, Founder of RADwood. “They love helping vehicle owners across the country find those hard-to-source, period-correct sizes that complement their full array of tire styles. Each tire delivers performance, a premium driving experience, and is aesthetically appropriate for modern classics. It’s a brand for people who love cars and see driving as an experience.”
