Yokohama Parada Spec 2s
 
Hi
I have just bought a set of these in 215/40-17 and have got to say that my scooby handles like a train even in the wet. Ive heard they wear quite quick, but I have never experienced a tyre which can grip like the above.
Best investment to date.
Cheers

Nice one, mate. I was hoping to get these as my next set. Saw the original Paradas in the tyre shop last year and was impressed with the rigid side wall on them. Tread looks interesting, too. I'd sacrifice a little wear in favour of a nice soft sticky compound. Grip has got to be the priority.

Where did you get 'em? Did you get a good price?

Hi
Got them from Tyrespot in Darlington,
Cost me £460 for the 4 including valve and balance.
Well worth the money.

i ve always been an f1 man, on my vtr, my fto and on my scoob, are these yokos really that good?

looking to change soon and summer is coming, my main reason for f1 s were the confidence when it got wet, but as i said, summer is coming and we may have two or three dry days.

I`ve had a set of Parada`s fitted recently and I`m absolutely over the moon with them, infact they seem to get better the harder you drive. I fancied a change as I`ve had Pirelli`s the last few times.

Cost me a little over £400.

I asked the same question when they gave me the price but he said thats wot he sells them for, they got a branch in worcester which is closer 4 u il PM you the numbers..

The only downside is that they dont produce the 215/45/17 for new age. Any suggestions? Should I change size to take advantage of that excellent tyre?

I think I paid over the odds
But I dont care, they hang on forever.
I have never in all my time been so impressed with a tyre.
