Tire Choices - Yokohama Parada Spec-2?
I am at the tire buying stage and want some feedback regarding my tire choices. The car will be mainly street driven with some track time as well. You
might want to take a look at my website to see what I am talking about. 1,100Lbs/soon to be 4AGTE. http://www.grabercars.com/ .
I am thinking that the Yokohama Parada Spec-2 is my best choice for this application. I also have the BFGoodrich ScorcherT/A and the Kumho Ecsta Supra
712 as possibilities.
If you are an autocrosser or a racer and have experience with any or all of these tires on the track, I'd like to know your opinion please.
I am not looking for a Price/Performance comparison. Pure performance. Feel on turn-in, dry traction, wet traction, wear.

This web page might be of some use to you, cant remember where i found it, might have come from this forum originally.

They do comparisions of various types of tyres, the specialist ones are down the bottom of the page 
Like i say might be useful, might not be

I bought the Parada Spec-2's. They are supposedly a very good street/track tire.
:-)
I'll report back as to how the work after I've had a chance to thrash on them a bit.
Edit: I had a chance to drive the car now with the new tyres. Wow. Stick like glue. Little stones and debris are now being flung up where this was not
a problem on the old tyres. I need to get some fenders on this thing soom!
