Does it have to be limited to those two tires? I wouldn't buy either one.

The Toyo T1-R is an okay tire, comparable in performance to "bang for the buck" tires like the Kumho SPT and Yokohama ES100, but costs more than those, so it's not exactly a great value.

The Parada Spec 2 is a really CRAPPY tire, with lousy performance, much worse than Yokohama's own ES100, but for the same price.

If you're looking for good performance at a bargain price, look at the Kumho SPT. Other decent tires for "bang for the buck" include the Avon Tech M500 and Yokohama ES100. I would choose any of these three over the two tires you mention.

The T1r's are decent, but not as good as the T1s's they replaced. The original paradas werent anything to write home about, and I can vouch for the es100's being a decent option as well

I disagree. If you care about price, then you shouldn't get the Azenis, because you'll be replacing them three times as often as the other tires I mentioned.

If you just want the stickiest tire you can get (on dry pavement), and you don't care how long they last or how often you have to buy more, then by all means get the Azenis.

False false, GOD that is false.

I LOVE my T1-R's, HATED my T1-S's.

I am loving my t1-r set as well (195-55-14), they did take a really long time to start working well- 400 + miles or so. i find them less precise than the avs 100, but quieter and a with a bit more grip and similarly predictable. time will tell on treadwear.
