Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Paradas are summer tires. More performance oriented, more grip, less life, reviews are posted all over the place on here. Most seem good.
Avids are all seasons, less grip, more life. Avids are pretty tried and true, they've been around for a long time.

the parada spec 2's arent that impressive compared to the old original ones. if i were to go with a yokohama tire i would have to go es100 or maybe to another brand tire. the h4's are good tires that last pretty good but for grip you will be disappointed

My Choices

Toyo Proxes 4's, Nitto NeoGen's or save a little and get Falken Ziex 512's which alotta members have endorsed on this site.

I am running 21540R18 GForce KDW on my car, and I am extremely happy with them. However, if you need 2154016, they do not make any of the GForce tires in that size. The GForce Sport may come out later this year in that size. 20545R16 GForce Sport are available, and 20550R16 in the GForce KDW.
