Mine are on the front, and I've got hankook at the rear and like I said... Quite terrifying when there cold, but warmed up they stick the the road like glue.... But that is over ridden by the fact when cold = TERRIFYING lol

Never had so much confidence while driving with 4 yoko paradas on all 4 corners. Super tyre, so good in the dry. Never any issues with them, even in the snow  :lipsrsealed:

I know people say this tyre that tyre is only good in the wet/dry etc, however I feel that if it is tipping buckets, or near freezing/snowing then don't drive like a fool, if you drive to conditions/the speed limit  :lipsrsealed: :whistle: then I'm sure a budget tyre will perform just as well as a premium one!

But my money would be on a parada  :smiley:

Rainsports for me, although I run P6000's on the back to make it remotely fun to drive.

Different league from tyres mentioned above but the Michelin pilot cup sport are highly rated and gets the thumbs up from me.

I use Avons, used to use Pirelli and they are truly frightening in the wet, I wouldn't even run 4 of them for a bet  :grin:

I had rainsports on front of 250bhp 1.8T and they wouldnt spin no matter how hard you tried.  Moved onto eagle F1 ASY 2 but never got time to fully test them.  but the reviews they got on tyre reviews are about 96% all round.
