Do you like the tires "Yokohama Parada Spec-2"?

 

paradas give mediocre performance, its more AIM'ed toward people who want a tire size to fit large rim application on sport compacts. ex: thin, large diameter tire.

you should go with the ES100s

 

There are totally better tires for the money such as the Dunlop Direzza DZ101's.

 

A friend of mine has them and the performance is just OK. Expensive tires that just look good.....No gets the vote

 

They are CRAP.

 

But mommy, they look so pretty.....

They're junk. SPT's look sweet too and they're a way better value.

 

They are overpriced crap!

 

wet weather they are downright dangerous unless they are new. they wear so quick you will be buying them all the time(even with a good alignment). they are mediocre in dry weather handling in my opinion. so i vote no.

 

Why does tire rack rate these so well. They give them better ratings than the SPT on every test?

 

When I had mine they didn't last for ****

 

Those tires are horrible.

 

I had them for a while and never had any issues with them. A little on the noisey side, but none the less a good tire for my standards. I'd buy another set.

what rating are you referring to? the user survey? or their actual road tests?
unless ive missed it, they never compared the two in a back-to-back test. through some extrapolation however, the tests suggest they are far worse than the spt.
*roundabout logic alert*
the Parada tested similar in the dry and better in the wet than the Dunlop FM901, which in another test was bested almost across the board by the Kumho 712, which in another test was bsted across the board by the Yokohama es100 which about par with the SPT in the dry and obliterated by the SPT in wet conditions.

lmao! i like the way you think

 

Ok, wow I feel stupid now. The numbers that are published below the description are the survey averages not based on acctual test results. I though thoes numbers were published by tirerack as grade on their own tests. My bad

 

no worries, i had to be corrected on that once too

 

They just look so official
