FAO: Gary G (and Parada users)

How are you finding these tyres? I can imagine wet grip levels aren't great but then I don't push it when it is wet so no problem.

My contis (which I can't fault) are going to be shot after my trackday on 4th March so will be needing a new set of boots all round.

I do a lot of motorway miles now so I wondered how they'll wear with this type of driving.

Any comments welcome, cheers.

Anyone, Fred/Yoz?

 

[Gary G]

Stop messing around and just get them mate! :rasp: lol.

...seriously tho I doubt you would be dissapointed! Do a search on a few other forums, lots of people are using them.

 

[Guy]

they'll probably wear more than you want though..

 

[Gary G]

yup, the price of awesome sticky tyres!

Ps. I also noticed a big difference in noise (remember my cars stripped out)...the parada's were quieter!!

 

[Ali]

Lol...em...who are they made buy, prices????

 

[seb]

yoko iirc? dunno though...

yokohama parada spec 2 - 79 quid a corner in 182 fitment

i got mine for 70 a corner


gary - they are noticeably quiter. i noticed this and so did my missus.

think its because they are softer than the pe2's.

That's not a bad price. I might have to get a set.

Silly question, is it easy to kill a front set on a trackday? Basically I either change now and have a better day but run the risk of needing 2 more or kill my contis and have no grip all day but start fresh with 4 new ones after the trackday...?!

Blah blah, I've gone on.

 

[Guy]

kill the contis on the trackday

i killed my front pe2's round elvington and put a fresh set of 4 paradas on.

done about 8k miles on them so far. think the fronts may be starting to wear down.. might have to replace them after cadwell next month..

Love mine. Picked them up from Yoko in Milton Keynes £60 a corner.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Yeaj I've seen PE2's melt and know I'd do it if I got those too. Paradas seem to be a way to go. 8k's not bad, but I got 8k out of my first set of contis...and they're rock hard in comparison lol.

just got a price or 2 - £79 each in a 205/40 17 which is about £30 a tyre cheaper than eagle F1's that I currently use so Yoko's it is!!

Humm... worth a look.
