ummm paradas

[nathanH]

full report in a week after they've been scrubbed in. Ive forgoten how shite brand new tyres are, nearly hit a curb pushing them a little too much.

cant wait to see how they compare to my old PE2's. I have mixed reservations. although they look so sexy!!

 

[ludaprix]

ive put them on mine last week, and the are fooking awesome!!

 

[Peperami]

Awesome tyres. Last really well on track too.

 

[Ali]

^As above...Miles better than the PEPoo's imo!

 

[RobT]

Loved my paradas on my old fiesta, lasted longer than the pirellis and were a lot stickier too!

Can't argue with the sexy(?) tread pattern too!

 

[rich19]

do u mind me askin how much a corner nathan?

 

[nathanH]

£80 delivered from larkspeed via ebay. cost £15 to have them fitted.

 

[DH_GTI]

nice !!!!

 

[JR]

was that 80 notes each then ?

look v nice.

 

[rich19]

from wot people hav sed worth every penny

 

[Graham Gooch]

I hope they last longer than every Yokohama tyre I've ever had!

 

[nathanH]

no £80 for the pair delivered. had a good run to work this morning even tho my exhaust fell off last night and it sounds like a tank, so far I have noticed how much more positive turn in is and all out grip on high speed bends. muchos smilieos.

I cant see them lasting to long but they do work out cheaper than PE2's as my last set was £120 fitted. my last set of pe2's lasted just over 4k.

 

[JR]

sounds like you drive the 172 properly, which is why your pe2's lasted 4k

 

[Rich]

Have you only got them on the front ?

 

[nathanH]

yep, for now, urgently needed some fronts, backs still have loads left on them. if im really impressed i'll sell them and buy some for the back.

yes im very hard on tyres and brakes..... the car just makes you want to drive it hard!

jesus christ ! and i thought i was bad.

interested to know the lifespan of these tyres as think i might get them next.

 

[Russ_16v]

hmmm well my f1s are bedding in nice and im liking them,i was looking @ a pair of these yokos,mainly coz i can get them for 35 quid each,but my mate has them on his gti-6 and are great in the dry but scary in the wet,these f1s have more grip in the wet than my old tyres did in the dry lol

fair play tho mate,look great

 

[vinnie182]

Had these all round on my CTR very grippy but if you only got 4k out of PE2s start saving for some more now ! ;-)

 

[nathanH]

first review:

shite if there is any sort of moisture about, understeer like mad. in the dry they are very good, but already strating to fall apart, some of the inner tread pattern has rounded off already and ive only done 100 miles on them, squeel alot when pushing on, but very progressive break away (not the chocolate bar) and predicatable. had them at 32psi, dropped them down to 30 and there are a little better, but tyre wall is getting more abuse.

 

[Christopher]

love them, had them before

 

[Joshwa172]

quality tyres, just had a set put on my new wheels! wont have nothing but!

 

[GarethM]

try a set of vredsteins next nath id be interested to what you think of them

i think they are great imo

 

[Leeshez]

How much where they?

 

[nathanH]

£80 a pair delivered.
