Opinions Please

I saw these in the flesh (so to speak) the other day at Wheelbase, guy there has them on his BMW. He said they were amazing in the dry and "quite good" in the wet (I questioned that there and then, but he said they didn't slip slide in the wet).

The compound is very soft which led me to my main question about them, "how long did they last"??? The answer was a rather 4000 miles, yes 4K on his BMW - not something for the faint hearted me thinks, but I'm still dying for someone to check em out on a Scoob and tell the rest of us what they're like.

The RE070's I had on mine before changing to 18" wheels were amazing, these are a similar type design and compound to them so I'm thinking about trying them out very soon.

Cheers BlueBoy,

Thanks for the advice. My suspicions were that they were going to be 'soft' but 4000 miles well thats soft!

I think I am gonna go with the Eagle F1's, I used to run these on my clio 16v and they were yards ahead of competition.

I am currently running Toyo's which have been good and I have little to complain apart from a little understeer in the wet, but again are amazing when compared to the Falken's which were on the car when I brought it.

Whats other peoples vote, I know is a often asked question but

Goodyear Eagle F1's

or

Toyo T1-S (or the new T1-R which replaces of course)

Which really is the best???

im lookin at replacing wheels and tyres at the mo, want some Sti alloys so i can upgarde the brakes later seems the Sti wheels come with the B/stone Re070's and by all accounts are a reasonable tyre.

4K thou

Steve sorry nicked your thread from the depths, after searching for reviews on the Parada's.

Got it going though! Only to confirm my suspicions that they would be, to say the least soft!!

My firied have it. After 4 laps in Brno (moto GP track in Czech republic) was significantly worn. It is old BMW 318 with Spax suspension and 16" wheels.

I've got these on my car at the moment, they seem pretty good. A lot better in the wet than any other yokos I've had in the past, and sh*t loads better in the dry then the bridgestones I had on last time. I've done about 1K in them so far and they're hardly worn at all (and they've had a bit of a hard time).
The way things are looking at the moment it looks like I'm going to have to replace the wheels before the tyres, I've knackered 2 of them already (god damn car park kerbs).
