Default yoko parada's fitted

This afternoon i fitted yoko parada's all round on the sti
OH MY GOOD GOD!
These tyre's are the absolute dog's dangle's,Took the scooby for a spirited drive along the strine's road near sheffield,Anyone who know's this road can understand that it keep's you alert,Anyhow i have never felt so much grip in the twisty's before fitting these tyre's and having the geometry set up to prodrive figure's(my03 sti standard spring's)

The road's were damp-dry,so much more responsive in the corner's then the bridgestones and dunlop sport tyre's,and a lot quieter too!

Paid £90 a corneer for the tyre's(£85 for the tyre's from larkspeed in leed's and £5 for balancing) 225/40/18

I will report as and when it get's really wet as too how they fair,but if they keep on pulling like they have done today then i am one happy bunny

These tyre's i like

Just had a set of 4 215/40 17s fitted to my classic instead of bendy F1s with sidewall splits. Only done 50 odd miles but they dont half feel good already
Took it for a test round some corners i know well and OH MY GOD my neck hurts now
And how cool is that tread pattern- looks like a cut slick on the outside
Feel like parking it on full lock now to show it off hehe
Only paid 75 fitted a corner too so Goodyear can keep thier bedy eagles...
Not sure how long they'll last though....

They are excellent tyres but wear down very quick.

Gave mine a first outing in the wet on the way to work this morning.
More spirited than usual because I was late again
Overall I thought they were pretty good in the wet- no better or worse than the F1s. Definitely choose the Yokis in the dry though
