I had toyo's on my standard wheels and they were crap!!!!

I am looking at some road/track tyre's atm not sure what to go for as don't want to go for 888's due to the amount of road miles I may end up doing.

some people rate eagle F1's, others say parada's are better....

the reason i choose paradas is simply because iv always used Yoko's, i tried all diff types and for me personally i prefered the yokos so iv just stuck with them over the years

I have new fulda's up front and they grip great in the wet n dry but do squeel a bit when close to the limit!! much better than the maxxis i had fitted which were lethal when wet!
last time i had yoko's they lasted about 10000 miles due to the soft compound!!

I have never ever got 10000 miles out of a set of tyre's!!!!! max for me is about 6-7k....... might be due to soft wallowy standard suspension meaning the car leans over and rubs the shoulders way before the middles get any where near old...

hopefully with the new coilovers they will be go a tad further
