Yet another Yoko Parada Q????

[CHRIS172CUP]

Right, 40 or 45 profile on my 172 cup standard turini rims?

Advantages and disadvantages?

 

[EVOgone]

Didnt you get some PE2's???

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

I did and don't like em plus they rub like mad because of the bulbous design, which I can't do with. Even on 30 psi at the fronts they are extremely light feeling which isn't the best. Maybe the neg camber I have, dunno?!

 

[Tyson-182]

45...Bigger sidewall.

I'm getting 205/45/r16 when i get my Trophy alloys...

How much are you getting the tyres for (each)?

Tyson.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Erm, £85 fitted from my mobile tyre fitting mate. PE2's £95 fitted!

 

[Tyson-182]

Thats not bad. I can get a tyre for £64 each, then need to get them fitted etc, so prob about the same.

Speak to Ross about Parada's. He has them on his 182.

And GuyS and GaryG who likes them. I'm just over concious of ripping my arches out! The PE2's in 205 wide look HUGE and it's only an extra 10mm. But looking at the Parada's they look a bit smaller.

We'll see I guess on saturday but will go back to contisports if they give me grief.

LOL... as your car is on its ass with H&R's i was suprised you went for 205's get the 195/45 std size anything else will rub. PE2's are very very good..

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

I'm sure they are as I've said before, driving 182's with them on they feel fine but on my cup they do seem to have side movement. Not slating them at all but as you know, confidence pays a big part in how you drive and if it's not there...

Might have to cancel my order of paradas now, can't afford to keep f**king about like this! lol.

Your car will need the 195/45 or you will have to up the ride height..!

PE2 are great but you must run them at 33/31 min maybe a tad higher to get the best out of them. My car felt crap last week checked the pressures 30/28, upped them to 34/31 and its a totally different car.!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

GaryG has a similar ride height to me and says his is fine. And what about the GDI car?? Bizzare, these cups are different in many ways.

4 x 195's ordered instead of the 205's...stick with what you know best I guess.

Gary's & GDI are 182's and have different offsets etc to the cup, that may be the reason. Plus the Ledas wont travel as much as they will be stiffer than the H&R's.

Get pe2 195 and sort the pressures out, you will like them for sure... BTW you have just come from slicks so in the dry they might need a little time to settle but the wet performance will be night and day..!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Yeah I know they'll need a while to bed in. I'm not that stupid, just a little bit.

It could be anything under those arches. iirc gary has no lining either, where as I have bits lol.
