I think I am going to ditch the F1's... had them a long time, starting to think that with every car I own I moan about the handling in one way or another... usually related to poor performance on bumpy roads. The only link between all the cars are the tyres, time for a change me things!! Anyone got a link to that Tyre pole we all did many moons ago? F1 came out by far ahead of the rest, but I cant remember what came 2nd?

The Evo test had the Goodyears 1st, PS2 2nd and Contact 3 3rd IIRC!

Going to be getting some new tyres soon and I've been wondering if these would be any good. They look cool...

Or should I just stick with what I know, Goodyear F1 Asym's?

Yokohama’s Parada Spec-2

I am running theses tyres on my car.

Sorry, the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta were 2nd. PS2s came in 5th.

Excellent in the dry, to much Grip if there is a thing. But not good on damp wet roads. (fun on wet roundabouts LOL) mate had 4 sets, So fitted them last year. they seem to be better on FWD and RWD cars. we put a set on a 172 clio and it is like glue to the road.

[MarkB]

Thanks Brett. I think I'll stick with goodyears then. I like some grip in the wet also.

[BRETTCOLLINS]

I will be fitting uniroyal Rainsports again.

[ChipHazzard]

hhhmmmm, I've just ordered a set of these for mine which I will be getting in a couple of days time so I'll just have to remember to take it easy in the wet
I've been runining yokohama 306's for a while now and like them as well but decided to try out the parada's on my new rims

[BRETTCOLLINS]

Had the police stop be twice now and ask if they are road legal tyres.. LOL

[MarkB]

That's why I like them. They look SO COOL! but if they don't work in the wet I won't be using them

[DavidT]

Not tried Yoko's or F1's but the PS2's are excellent all round if you can get them at a sensible price.

[ChrisRS4]

paradas = awesome in the dry and dangerous in the wet. don't know how long they would last on a trackday though!

I'd disagree with that. I had them on my last car and they're the best tyres I've ever had. Not exceptional in the wet, but by no means dangerous. Also did several track days with no major wear.

[ChipHazzard]

Well I should be getting mine fitted in the next couple of days, so i'll try and give my impressions once i've had a few runs
