If you find yourself looking at tyre prices n thinking, my my those Yokohama Paradas look like a good punt, the review suggest plenty of grip. Do youself a favour and walk away. Because they have nearly no grip in the wet!!!! (truly amazing in the dry tho lol) my accident happened at less than 50mph... i think.

Just thought it would be worth puttin a few photo's out there to see the response.

My Racing Blue 182 come monday!!! so excited!!! shame to see my wheels go tho

Use photobucket mate. I use paradas on my fronts, yes dry they are v.good, in the wet i was spinning up quite a bit.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

to be fair i had them on for nearly a year n they had loads of tread left

 

[Beef-Mc]

Phtobucket or Image shack are the best place.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Had some Semperit's on a 205 gti a few years back....fantastic in the dry but the car understeered for fun in the wet
