fulham4eva Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 yokohama prada spec 2's if u can get em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yokohama Parada Spec 2, cheap on ebay and fast delviery. Got mine for £142 all in, + £20 fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SooperD Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 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.

Jozinobi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The Paradas are ideally a summer tire mate.Keep that in mind.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 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 folksRussell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
