I have a set of 4 spec-2's on my valver and anything less than dessert conditions they are god awful.
On dry warm tarmac they are epic, in fact they become almost sticky.
Some people say they can over heat and disintergrate lol.
Good tyre in the dry and God awful in wet or cold conditions.

Indeed a very soft tyre, but never had any problems in the wet with them, still handle just as well!

Guys I use are always good. Get it tracked again in the morning.
Thats a pretty good price! I got 2 from demontweeks for less than £80 delivered and I thought that was cheap!
Haha, always the best excuse

I'm going to have these on the Focus for summer...can't wait.
I'm the same mate, getting everything cheap ftw!
RS6+ & 40d MSport X5
Kin' magic thats the same tyres size as mine lol.. where u get them from and were they fitted in the same place?
lol.. 4 Toyo t1r's are £138
Well got them fitted on friday been really dry most of the weekend until today but dry grip is nothing short of epic and I really mean that word!
The pumas are known for excellent handling but the tyres have really transformed the car, I think due to the poor tyres that were on the car the paradas have had more of an impact but i'm really glad I choose them after reading lots about them.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anybody looking for a grippy dry tyre!
As for the wet handling problems i'll probably never be going quick enough to get them on the limit in the wet.
Cheers naith.

Best tyre iv ever had fitted to the Clio by a mile!!
Their wear rate is superb, awsome standing start grip and never had a problem with the wet grip, something of which i was worried about prior to buying. Infact, for road use, i find they grip a lot better than Eagle F1's in the wet!

I was thinking the tyre wear would be quick as they are softer compound but i'm not that worried it's well worth it for sheer cornering abilities.
And there were a lot of wet comments before I bought these tyres but only time will tell if they are genuinely a bad wet tyre.
tread pattern reminds me of r888's!
I don't even drive fast tbh but the tyres make you want to!
Big grin club is back!
Sticky like my pants when thinking of your face?Lulz, wait till its even warmer and u get a lap in on a track or do about 20 mins fast road.
Sticky like my pants when thinking of your face?
oh stop x
an example of the grip with heat is i went into the complex at silverstone with parada's on the front, falken on the rear, the back stepped out and i drifted it FWD styley whilst the front was stuck fast. brown pants and chubby all at the same time
Pmsl! I can imagine your face! WTF!
Glad I got a couple of dry days at least just for a few blasts.
It's the speed you can carry into corners, no squirming or dodgy braking, just point and gas!
Cheers for convincing naith mate!
For normal to pretty spirited wet driving iv never found them to be a problem, or certainly nothing that indicates their any worse than the other well known makes. The way folk were talking they make out their like slicks haha
Was raining last night and can still carry more speed into corners than my old tyres, when I think about they old ones were death traps!For normal to pretty spirited wet driving iv never found them to be a problem, or certainly nothing that indicates their any worse than the other well known makes. The way folk were talking they make out their like slicks haha
I agree that a lot of people scare you into thinking they are like slicks!
That's what me and naith were saying for the price I got them I would be willy to spend a little more for the dry handling!
Monaco Ph2 172
Agreed - I love Yokos!
The A539's were the best tyres I ever used.Although I paid about £90 each for my 205/45/16's Parada

The most useless wet tyre i've ever bought. And they peel in the dry!
Aside from T1-R's... they are f*cking ditchfinders and should be banned.
PE2 FTW.

Off after work to get 4 new paradas fitted!
I don't think i've ever read such a mixed reviews of a tyre before.
Decided as I drive like a gay in the wet that this is the tyre for me!
Roll on the dry days!
just in the wet aye?:rasp:...lol
