where to buy paradas?
i just got new 18" rims through a sponsorship and need to buy new tires. i looked at many tires and the yokohama parada spec-2 seem the best. where can i get these for a good deal? so far tire rack is the cheapest at $572 shipped for 215/40/18 size tires. also my car is dropped with some neuspeed sport springs and was woundering if i should go with 215/35 or 215/40 size tires?
heres what my car looks like now with 17's
link
btw: my current rims/tires are for sale for $550 without shipping.

Rep Power: 0 Go with the 215/35 if your roads aren't too bad and you drive carefully. Otherwise, go with 215/40. Tirerack will most likely be your best deal, unless you have a shop in your area that will price-match like the one I go to.

Rep Power: 0 tirerack seems like the cheapest. i'll stick with the 215/40 because bay area roads are real bad. local shops around here will match the price but i have to pay tax and its cheaper just buying off of the net. also i went to america's tire co today and they said that the parada's are overrated and wear out real soon because of its large thread areas. is that ture? they also told me that they are good for racing but not for normal driving and that they were loud.

Rep Power: 0 Get the paradas, and get them at tirerack. I looked all around for my paradas and the cheapest place that I found them was the tirerack. I have close to 10,000 miles on them with little wear. They do hook up like glue, you can push them hard and they wont let go. Definately a good choice.
