OK, So I need to get tires for my newly aquired ADR competion7's. (17x7)
Im looking at the Yokohama Parada Spec2's cause Ive heard good things,..but I wanted to know if anyone on here has them and if they could give a review on them.

I have been runnin these tires for about 9 months now. I really like them. They offer mad grip in both dry and wet conditions. Don't know what the guy is talkin about regarding noise. With my radio off and cruisin at around 80, I don't hear any noise from them.

Once my tires wear out I am gonna get, what is often referred to as, one of the best street tires on the market--Michelin Pilot Sport 2. These tires are freakin expensive but are supposed to be well worth it. Depending on ya budget, I'd go with the Spec-2s.

spec2's get a from me they where alot quieter than my old falkens and grip well dry or wet. get a good alignment with the new tires.

don't get paradas if you have negative camber, they wear uneven and become very noisy. they are great in wet weather though!

It would seem to me that, no matter what brand of tire you are running, if you have negative camber the tire will wear out unevenly.

Depends on how you drive....

agreed, however, with the paradas unique tread pattern, i have noticed they make loud humming/throbbing noises after continued use with negative camber.

Right right...and how often you rotate them as well. If you have tires, like the Spec-2s, you can minimize uneven wear my rotating them more often. They are not directional tires, so you can pretty much rotate them in any direction you want to.

And you haven't notice this with other brands? How many different brand of tires have you ran?

I would have to agree with the Michelins. They are probably the best all around street tire. They grip well in the dry, and in rain they are very stable. It rains with torrential downpours, I mean so much you cannot see 20 feet in front of you, yet they never slipped or lost grip.

DONT get those tires if you want good performance. I had nothing but problems like; very anoying humming, poor wet traction, decent dry traction and they were out of round from the factory. I got yokohamas ES100s and they are 10 times better in all aspects. I use to think that the paradas made my car handle well, but I found out that I was wrong when I got the ES100s and found out how a good tire should feel.
