yokohama prada spec 2's if u can get em

[ste91]

I use T1-R's, £40 each, can't fault them at all. Great grip all round, for fast road use they do the job very well. The only thing that I will say is that they wear down quicker than some other tyres. Take it easy on the wheelspins.

Yokohama Parada Spec 2, cheap on ebay and fast delviery. Got mine for £142 all in, + £20 fitting.

Goodyear Eagles GSD3 (Discontinued but there are sets about) - Great in dry and the wet. Have not heard good feedback about the Parada Spec II's in the wet and they also have less tread.

what size ? am i right in thinkin the paradas dont do 16" .. Ive had yokohama s drive and they were good .. Also had avons on my 17's and they grip awesome in the dry.

i would go for yokohama parada spec 2 mate on ebay for 4 its £125+ 11 p&p.

ive also had t1Rs and found them to understeer slightly when driving harder! plus wear down faster than the paradas.

[Russleh]

tis for 15s. yeh im not likin how people say the paradas are garbage in the wet tho. i had proxes before but it was the proxes4's and they were decent in the wet. i just cant decide but need to buy some asap lol. ill wait and see if anyone else has some opinions that sway me.

The Paradas are ideally a summer tire mate.

Keep that in mind.

tbh i thought they were good in the wet better that the t1rs i think it all depends on handling setup. mine worked well though just my opinion found the t1rs to understeer in the wet which helped me to wright off my first starlet lol

[ste91]

T1-R's only understeer when you have a fair bit of steering lock on.

What I found with them is they're excellent when they have plenty of tread, then when it starts wearing down they get worse and worse and worse and eventually they are useless. Lay off the wheelspins and they'll be ok though.

[Russleh]

ill just go with t1rs since i dont drive that fast when its soakin anyways:P will get onto tm developments in th mornin . cheers for the input folks

Something like £40 each on there I bought some a few weeks ago.

[rob_bower]

try camskill HERE my t-1r's just cost me £133 delivered from there they seen as good as the eagle f1 gsd3's so far but they are very soft but in my opinion just as good so far considering there £20 cheaper per tyre!!.

[addz]

I rate Yokohama S-drives.

A great tyre in the dry good in the wet too.

[Russleh]

Go on blackcircles.com they have 195/45/15.

£40 each.

And no it's not 5mm difference it's 5% of the width of the tyre. (The sidewalls are measured as a percentage).
