Anybody know if yoko do the parada (sp) tyre in 195/45/15? Also has anybody any opinions on these tyres? Drove a new s3 with these on yesterday and it handled really well and they look cool too but the s3 handles well anyway so was just wondering if anybody had any experiences/opinions?

Cheers

Thanks for that- didnt realise there was an existing thread! Im pretty much decided that i want paradas for the valver and ive just been looking on ebay- can get them for 140 a set of 4 which is very decent- i can only find them in 195/50 though, does anybody know if theyre made in 45 profile?

I've got em on my valver and I'm ready for new ones but I cant find em in 45 profile either. If you have any luck finding some could you let us know?

Awesome mate that combo on a clio, i use that combo (although eagles f1's). Wherever you point it they go! A lot disagree on here. Dont expect a comfy ride though, theyre terrible lol!! You will enjoy more than an S3 anyday!

Yes mate but its proving very hard to find them! I think if they do do them theyll be a lot dearer though!

1995clio16v- its good to hear from a 45 lover as rare as you are! I know most people frown upon them but they have got to be better than my pirelli and budget 50 profile combo!

Yep they're great, they really are, expect many a visit to your dentist though for regular re-fills in your fillings!! Lol! :shock:

Maxi must have regular trips with 35's on, crikey!

Yes maxi but youre cheating :wink: Try finding me some 35 profile 15's!

Part of me wants the harsh ride to be honest if i wanted it comfy i wouldnt have bought the car in the first place :lol:

On another note my brother has a vento vr6 with 8 by 17's on with 205/40/17's on and fk konigsports and that feels good only really notice harsh ride over pot holes etc and handles surprisingly well for a front end heavy car with stretched tyres on.

yeah i,m running 8.5 18,s with 225/35 18,s but with the ledas the ride is fantastic as they not set to hard..

but potholes are hard and theres loads at the moment with the rain washing bits of the roads away

plus the 35 is not a height but a percentage of width so mine are similar in give to a 195/45

Forgot to ask matey but you say you have them on your valver currently- are they 195/45's or 50's? Cant even find out if theyre made let alone find any to buy!

Had a look at work today and we dont list the paradas in 194/45's which in 99 out of 100 cases means its not produced.

If i remember tomorrow i'll ring my man at Yoko and ask for sure.

Parada only do 195/50 :?

Ive now got a dilema! I really like the look of the paradas and they seem to be a very good tyre but i also wanted 195/45's which leaves either the t1-r or eagle f1's. The other thing is price as you can get a set of paradas on ebay for £140 but for either of the above 45's its around £50 a tyre! Just dont know what to do for the best :?

F1s - try them in the wet and you won't go back 8)

F1's have my vote aswell.

would go 95 50's though but thats my (and my dentists :P ) opinion. lol
