I cant comment on the paradas but the yoko s drives seem a good tyre for the road. Good price and very grippy in the dry. |

I got 4 in the shed so when my pilot exalto 2's are spent il put them on. Should be just before pugfest. It will be good to directly compare them to what I have now. Speaking to gary yesterday he does love them. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Im just looking at new tyres for the girlfriends fiesta st, weve had it 18 months and shes covered 13k in it, the origional front tyres that were on it when we bought it arent too bad but will need changing soon, the rears (toyo proxes 4's) especially the n/s tyre need changing very soon and there less than a year old and have covered only 10k, i got 17k out of a rear set of parada 2's before i sold the rallye and they had loads of tread left |

The parada's do last well il give them that. I just dont like the wet grip capabilities. They did not work on my impreza which pit me off massivly. I cant yet comment on the proxy 4's but I will say the pe2's are very good all round. They grip very well in wet/dry conditions and last okay too. The fronts still have 3mm tread after 12k miles and the backs have double that left roughly. I would whole heartedly reccomend them. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Paradas will all was still get my vote but then again it always comes down to each drivers driving style so this thread is abit pointless really ________________________________________ Ph2 Black GTI6Ph3 China GTI6 206 xsi manstone daily runner (GAY) Ph1 Cherry Red GTI6 307 HDi 110 |

My pe2's hold well in the wet. Sometimes it is nice to have a little play in the wet. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
