Hi,

Running a set on my LCR, just changed the front to F1s, pradas were good in the dry but a lot of aqu******ing in not a lot of surface water.

If you want really sticky legal tyres go for Toyo 888's, they'll last a summer of hard driving an then you can put winrter tyres back on!
Paradas are pretty good, but only in the dry, the 888's are really really good in the dry and not as bad as you'd expect in the wet!

Just about to change the paradas on the front today for Falken Fk 452's all round. Not had them on the front yet so watch this space. Goodyears are pricey for what they are imo.

Go for the F1's, they really are that good if a bit expensive! I've heard the Yoko's are very noisy because of the tread pattern and they are nothing short of suicidal in the wet. I've heard mixed reports on the Falkens but they are a good price.

I like them. For a budget track tyre they are worth it. I never drive hard in the wet so don't really bother me.

Depends what you are using them for. Road. Track. Wet. dry.

They're the fellas, it's a good price depending on the delivery and fitting costs. When I was looking I went all over getting prices, the most expensive being a whopping £700 and the best was £475 for 4 fitted and balanced. Money well spent IMO and I'll definately be buying them again.

in runnin paradas on ly lcr and tbh with 340bhp even in the dry with traction off i struggle for grip untill 3rd gear lol and they aint much kop in the wet as said above,now when i had the 350bhp ihi'd ibiza it was on 15inch wheels with toyo r888's the grip was awesome even done a track day in the wet and they were superb.

So imo id go for 888's
