toyo T1-R'S vs PARADA spec 2's......
- Thread starter Guppy
- Start date
b/g 182, meg tourer
yeah, paradas can't be pushed too hard in the wet. imo t1-r's are better in the wet.
paradas just as good in the dry tho and last longer.
yeah, the edges of t1-r's do wear fairly quick due to hard cornering. a lot of tyres seem to tho.
i will be going for paradas when i need new rubber if i can get hold of them
Completely different tyres :s
Paradas are a cross between a road tyre and a trackday semi slick, the toyo's are a cheapish performance road tyre. Both awful in the wet, parada's are awesome when warm in the dry.
With winter approaching i wouldnt be looking at either mate!

I have just got a full set of Yokos on my 15's.
In the dry they are phenomenal, tons of grip and squeel nicely when you pish it a bit far
In the wet they are ok provided you dont thrash the steering about too much, quick sharp turns loose them, but if you turn in fairly gently they do retain a decent amount of grip, but I just don't push it in the wet so they will be fine for me.
Had T1R's on my 1.2 16v, obviously slightly slower but loved them on it, however i hated them on my Lupo GTi!

ive literally just made this decision yesterday as was at tweeks in need of 4 new tyres. had paradas on and really liked them but in the greasy conditions they were absolutely awful. couldnt justify the cost/wear of r888 or ao48's so took a punt on some toyo t1r's and so far seem to be a good allround tyre. although they lack the dry weather grip of the yoko they're better in the greasy/wet weather.

Tyres gone already gup, jeeeez
Stick with the toyos
Why change something if it does the job perfectly fine already?

And the fronts, looks like more than 1.6mm of tread on them, good for another year I reckon
You guys must be hooligans in the wet with the Parada's - Can honestly say, other than when they only had 30 odd miles wear, the grip in the wet is the same as the Eagle F1's if not better!!
Heard all the stories about the wet weather thing before and thought i was risking it buying the Parada's especially with the Scottish weather lol but can safely say im well impressed with them.
Just wish they'd hurry up and wear out as im wanting to change the wheels back to stock lol

Never really did mate, think the last wales trip well and truly finished them off though.
