Yokohama Parada Spec II

Got my first Parada Spec II in today. I'm having to buy them one at a time because I am so broke!

This is a tight looking tire, crazy tread design. What caught me off guard is how big it looks, 215/40/18. I'm about to bust a nut to get the rest of them and get my rims mounted. When I get back from vacation this weekend and borrow the digital from work I'll post a few pics of my one tire & rim combo! I know you guys can't wait for that! lol

Sorry for the stupid post, I just got excited. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

Dood, what kind of rim is that in your profile? Looks nice. Velox VX-8, ADR Sokudo, Arospeed RS23?

Anyhows, you getting gunmetal 8 spoke on your silver? I'll probably be getting the graphite Konig Absolutes on my Silver EL. Hopefully it looks good with em. The only wheel other than the Sokudo that weighs less than 20 lbs that I could find that I liked in that price range.

....one tire at a time, er...I already have all my rims.

I'm not in that big a hurry anyway, I'm waiting on the H&R cup kit so I can do it all at once.

How much do the 18's weigh? Best guess I got was the 17's weighing 20-22 lbs. I may actually get these in Gunmetal... Nice wheels.

i have the spec 2's on my velox VX-8's.... they are tight, and hey, just so you feel better, the rim protector bar on the paradas, combined with the strength of the rims means you can hit the occassional pot hole and not have to jump out of you r car right away and get worried your wheel wil be all f'd up...

I always get my tires from Tire Rack and have always had great service.
