ive got paradas on the back of my mk2, i bought them because they were advertised and recomended by friends as being as good as f1s.
they arent.
at all.
pretty good in the dry but pretty lame in the wet, and very little warning when they let go.
if you think paradas are as good as eagle f1s then you only used about 3/4 of what the f1 could do, toyo proxes t1s or t1r are the only tyre i can think of that come close as an all conditions (except ice/snow, obviously) road tyre and should still be available in most sizes.
