    Yokohama tyres

    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!

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

    Yes maxi but youre cheating 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

    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.
