Changing the tires...
well i got Parada Spec 2 tires on my 18x7 center line rims... which weight 14.5 pounds each....
anyways... the paradas are going down to about where they should be changed
i was wondering if i should just get new parada spec 2 215/40 or get some Kumho Esta 225/40 MX

How fast do you want to buy the next set? The paradas are going to last longer... the MXs will make the ride... how do you say... "more fun"

umm, i dont' know, soon, my car is still sitting there... there is a little tread left, but i had good camber on my rear tires so they were shreaded up...so i just got my stockies on...
i don't think its very safe to drive on the paradas... anyways... its only 100 bucks a tire for the MX and 140 for the paradas

No no no... what I'm saying is how fast do you want to buy the set after this one? I'm basically implying that you're going to trade the MXs glue-like grip for the longer wear of the parada. I wouldn't expect to get much more than 15K out of a set of MXs, where as I would plan on 25-30 from the Paradas.

I like the Yokohoma AVS's much better from a performance stand point. On the track the grip as good if not better than the Parada's and don't wear as fast. The Parada's are more of a style type of tire. If you can afford a little more for tires go for Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions. These are the best street tire IMO.
