Default Yoko Paradas, A520. Dunlop SP9000, or Toyo T1S??

Who here has used these tires and what is your feedback on them? How do these fair against each other? Thanks.

I've had two of the three. The paradas suck imo. However, the SP9000's have pleased me very much so in both the wet and dry.

Toyo T1-S...Both wet and dry should surpass the SP9000's...but they aren't cheap though!

I used to have Dunlop SP9000's they were good street tires but sucked for auto-x!
I would recommend Falken Azenis but not for auto-x!

Just to reinforce, I have also heard from MANY sources that the Paradas suck...

I enjoy my A520's for everyday driving, but wouldn't consider taking them on the track or even autoX.

I currently have the Paradas in 205/40 17. I used them at the Texas World Speedway track day as well as a few auto-x events and can say that they were definitely holding me back. Dry traction for everyday driving is good, but the wet traction absolutely sucks (ie. car hydroplanes with minimal water). It was a learning experience and I will <U>not</U> buy them again. Probably go with the Toyo T1-S next. HTH.

what ever you do don't get the Paradas. they truly suck. especially in wet weather(no traction at all) get the toyos. i think the Paradas are used for lowriders in Japan

I have the SP9000, I think they have great wet traction, but the dry traction isn't that great. But I used to have A032R and I have A048 now, so I guess I can't really compare them with each other!!

From the 4 choices you have above, I would go with T1S, I heard a lot of great thing about them from other people I know.

Dunlop SP9000's have run great for me (street only). I haven't found them lacking in wet or dry conditions. I'd buy 'em again for sure.

paradas suck, as everyone already said...

I like the Falken Azenis tire as well, from what I've heard they are a decent track/street tire....
