That is alot, I hope they were bigger than 17s because I paid 117 for mine. I hated them they are to hard and I had problems with mine. The one made the worlds worst noise on the highway and I took them to get balanced and they were compleatly out of round. I switched to the ES 100s and they are 100 times better handling. I also had the paradas in a 205/45, but I purchased the ES 100s in a 215/40. This creates slightly shorter gearing and less rotational mass for faster aceleration and is 10mm wider for better handling. Hope you have better luck than I did and dont forget to heat cycle them before going out and burning them off or cornering hard.

I had paradas for about 5months and I loved them 1-10 scale 10 is the best

Wet=6
Dry=9
Snow=3

I have never seen, read, or purchased a tire that has them all... if one has better performance on one purpose the others goes straight down the drain i.e.

Performance Tire=Looks Nice, Dry Road Score High, Loud noise, wet road score low, snow don't even try
All Season=Looks like crap, sucks on cornering, wet and dry road minimal score
Wet/Snow tires=Looks Like crap, soft cornering, tires wear out faster than your arm tryin to get orgasm the second time in a row

^^^^he has 18s. Comparing the Es-100s to the paradas the wet handling is noticably better. I am not sure about the snow handling. Dry pavement they run circles around the paradas granted I bought a wider tire, but the difference goes past that.
