Default Yoko Parada Spec 2's

Guys,

Anyone who has or had these have the tread go from being great and then not so great about a week later?

I've had my parada's on now for just over a year. Wear indicators are fine but feels like the rubber has all of a sudden gone soft.

How long did your Parada's last and did you get the same feeling that the grip level just went and not over time?

Forgot to add.

In the last couple of months new ARB's and ALK has been fitted that may nt have helped the life process but wouldn't have thought that quickly.?

If you didnt have wheel alignment done after fitting the ALK then thats probably your problem.

My sets last about 8K miles, but I generaly don't notice a compound change before they go. They just end up useless in the damp or wet when the tread gets low.

Had the geo done by Curtis at Powerstation at the time buddy.


I think I will put it down to the sudden drop in road temps at the mo as I have checked all tyres and they have loads of grip and tread left?? Strange.
