Anyone have Yoko Pradas?
« on: 31 December 2011, 16:06 »
I had them fitted back in the summer. This week we have had a lot of rain and they are awful!

Understeer everywhere as they just don't get any grip in the wet!

Anyone else found this?

Yes I have them. I did some reading on them and they are poor in the wet. If there is any hint of rain/dampness I won't thrash it, let alone drive quickly. Just take it easy in the rain.

They are pretty gash in the wet :sad:

They great in the dry   :smiley:

My next set of tyres will actually be able to handle a puddle. Will not be purchasing another set!

what size? pretty sure there the same price as toyos arent they ? had toyos and rainsport 2s on my car and there both good tyres, obviously one is better in the wet.

michelin PE2s are good in the wet and last a pretty long time. although they are more expensive
