exactly, beter grip and they're cheap.

I've heard bad things about Paradas. Why not look into AVS ES 100's or something along those lines

I live in Bellingham, WA...rains a lot up here. Haven't had any problems with my Azenis...but they have full tread basically. Just don't drive fast...be careful

The ES100's are gonna be a beter rain tire.

I've done a few events in the pouring rain with Azenis, and they felt good

alrighty then. yes they will look fine, although i would have personally gone with all black on a silver car, but to each his own...and definitely go with azenis over the yokohamas

EDIT: allmtr I corrected it as soon as i saw his post

Go with Azenis...The whole point of rain shouldn't be to important if you want a tire that grips. And if it is a major point you will have to split the difference and get a tire that does both well.

What I do is have a set of slips with Azenis and a set (not rota) with yoko avids.
